Hi Laura,

 

The following are typical symptoms associated with hypothyroidism.  If you are experiencing some of the following symptoms, I recommend discussing with your physician.

 

* Fatigue
* Weakness
* Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
* Coarse, dry hair
* Dry, rough pale skin
* Hair loss
* Cold intolerance (can't tolerate the cold like those around you)
* Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
* Constipation
* Depression
* Irritability
* Memory loss
* Abnormal menstrual cycles
* Decreased libido

 

All the best,

Lisa Nelson RD
