Irregular bleeding linked to hypothyoidism?
Dec 10, 2009 05:59AM in the Thyroid Disorders Community
I know that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is often linked to hypothyroidism.....this causes irregular menstrual cycles and at times, heavy bleeding. My endocrinologist is pretty sure I have some sort of hypothyroidism (read: I have a crazy medical history these past two years, so it's hard to tell with my test results) for which I take 50 mcg of Levothyrox...

This could be a result of dancing, especially if you did it for many years--perhaps you wore down the cartilage in your shoulder socket or sternoclavicular joint. Do you experience any pain or swelling in the region, or have you just noticed the noise?

I'm currently taking the beta-blocker Propranolol (120 mg/day), which requires I only take one pill per day. Aside from feeling really lethargic throughout the day, it has done a great job of preventing migraines and the daily headaches I used to get. If you haven't given beta-blockers a try yet, I definitely recommend doing so! Good luck and I hope you fi...
Tingling in tight side, and sore neck

It may be more serious and you should have gotten a CT scan of your head done when you were in the ER. The fact that your episode occurred with the onset of a bad headache makes me think you may have suffered a migraine headache, as these can cause symptoms ranging from facial paralysis to dizziness to transient ischemic attacks (aka "mini-strokes&quo...
