OK ... Backgroud, thyroid problems run rampent in my family.

I am WAY tired - if I don't nap, I am falling asleep at 7, like nodding off. It is ridiculous. Even if I do nap, I am nodding off around 9.

I have recently lost about 15lbs. And haven't had much of a change in my eating habbits.

THose are two of the biggest signs of thyroid problems.

What do you ladies think I should do?

Go to the dr. or not?

Some other signs of thyroid problems are mood swings < which I have, and more BM's than normal which I have

I am NOT pregnant, I have tested to make sure, I just HATE going to the Dr. so I am trying to avoid it unless necessary!!!

GO TO THE DR. My cousin Micah had cancer in her thyroid and once they removed it she had the same symptoms as you. She is now on this medicine that works miracles on her. She is happy, not tired, full of energy etc.... I say go to the dr.

I have had serious thyroid problems for a loooong time and the only thing about it is you have conflicting symptoms........

With hyperthyroid you would lose weight but be hyper, so not tired. I have this type, and both do screw with your moods. I ended up in what is called a "thyroid storm" about 10 years ago.

With Hypothyroid you are tired and gain weight among other symptoms.

So they are jiving which makes me think something else.

Go to the doctor and get some blood tests, it can't hurt.

I agree with Jen and was going to say the same thing--if you're tired all the time it sounds like hypothyroidism but then you'd be gaining weight, not losing it...I am mildly hypothyroid.
If you are losing weight and it's related to your thyroid, you'd be hyperthyroid but then you'd not be tired, you'd be wired.
Sudden weight loss and being tired all the time can also be signs of cancer and diabetes, among other potentially much less dangerous things.
So it's a good thing you have a dr's appointment.

This is from Web MD:

What are the symptoms?

You may have no symptoms at all. Or:

You may feel nervous, moody, weak, or tired.
Your hands may shake, your heart may beat fast, or you may have problems breathing.
You may be sweaty or have warm, red, itchy skin.
You may have more bowel movements than usual.
You may have fine, soft hair that is falling out.
You may lose weight even though you eat the same or more than usual.


I forgot to mention earlier my hot flashes, I was convinced I was going through menopause at 21!
Either way, hopefully when I go to the dr. they will tell me what is going on!!

Ya, my mom is just worried because I have lost probably 15lbs. recently, and I am still eating. Not to mention with Thyroid problems running in the family.

We will see, I just want them to figure it out, whatever it is!!
