hyperthyroidism?
by clb33, Jul 01, 2008 08:45AM
I'm female, 35 yrs old.
I've been to the dermatologist twice this month for profuse sweating and problems w/my eyes (itchy,gritty, watery) and profuse sweating. The Doc told me not to wear makeup. I'm going back today because the sweating is so bad (she gave me some dri-off gel that didn't work). The sweating is on my back and head, face as the worst area is my chest. Just vaccumming for $10 min will send me to the shower. i had baby 2 1/2 yrs ago. Lost tons of weight fast. I have problems w/ADHD, Anxiety that I take medication for (dexadrin and fluoxetine) and assumed that the symptoms were probably associated w/it. i also have problems w/severe menstrual cramps,, hair loss, and hair breakage. The list goes on. However, while searching for info on the profuse sweating, I found that I had symptoms of hyperthyroidism. My symptoms of ADHD have worsened and now I wonder if it isn't my thyroid. What do you think? And........what should I do?
