Anyone else hypothyroid? Along with peri madness?!😪

Hi Goddess

the test for peri in not conclusive, my doctor did mine and it came back normal, but she said after listening to my many symptoms and my periods are becoming more regular, then nothing, she said I was definitely in peri, I had just turned 47 at the time, she said when your in the first stages the test is not often right, like she said we know our own bodies, and we know what is and isn't normal for us xx

I was put on levothyroxine last year for underactive thyroid the last six months have been rough periods all over the place also night sweats and anxiety im in citrilopram 10 mg as well for my anxiety im 45 had a ultrasound scan because of spot bleeding inbetween periods which all came back normal

I have no thyroid and in levothyroxine for 8-9 years. I suspect peri too. I have not felt normal for a looong time. Symptoms range a lot. My hormone pool is a mess or that is how it feels. I was very reluctant to start birth control and had rough few months on it. I do see some improvement though. Not all but some thing got better. Not much we can do I guess. I keep trying to find somethig that will help.

Hi Goddess1

I am also hypo-t for 20yrs+ and had a hysterectomy at 29 (now 51).  I didn;t notice the sweats in their infancy just felt I was warm on occasion.  Then suddenly started with a full array of symptoms, but at the time didn't realise it was meno.  After lots of trips and tests to hospital I was told my TSH/T3/T4 were way out of range and was overmedicated and 1% away from a coma!  After a lot of backwards and forwards they still couldn't get my dosage right, they had so wound up I was afraid to take my thyroxine.  I got so fed up I went privately to see an endo he told me (his words) "all cobblers".   Bascically he told me to use bloods as a guide, and to listen to my body.  That if I was okay before then its fine, once I accepted it was meno my anxiety eased.  The real weird thing for me was being hot (normally freezing).  All I can say is I am probably post meno around 10 months but my symptoms were as follows.

Flushes, sweats heat intolerance 24/7

Headaches

Nausea

IBS type symptoms

Internal shaking &bouncing

External shaking

Restless & agitated

Anxiety

Panic Attacks

Tachycardia & palpitations

Total loss of appetite difficulty swallowing

Tiredness and fatigue

Weight loss

Pounding heart

Chest tightness

Muscle & joint aches and pains

Dizziness and confusion

Brain fog

Forgetfulness and depression

Insomnia

Don't know if any of this helps

Hi ladies! I have hashimoto's and I am on Westhroid (similar to Armour thyroid). I have been going through a very intense and life changing perimenopause (hot flashing as I type- errrr). I am no wuss either. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but not much for perimenopause. I noticed changes in my mid 30's, but on a trip to Vegas for my 40th, that's when I noticed something was not right. I had no energy to go out on my bday and stayed at the hotel, alone! Since then (5.5 years ago) it has been one hellish roller coaster: missed periods, long periods, clotty periods, dribbling periods, fatigue, sweats, headaches, bloating/gas, anxiety, heart palps...blah, blah, blah. Ok, back to thyroid. Here is my observation. My free t3 levels go high when my estrogen is bottomed out. So...I am not only fluctuating with hormones, but thyroid as well. Fun, fun....NOT! Since estrogen binds with thyroid hormone, when I have none, it is left unbound and my normal dose becomes a bit much, which only intensifies the wretched hot flashes and night sweats. My last blood draw showed an estradiol level of less than 5! Yup! Girls age 1-10 have higher estrogen levels than I do currently. My doctor (obgyn) was going to implant testosterone pellets to help with my energy and fatigue and am I glad I won't be doing that now, or else I will surely turn straight into a man with a beard, zits and balding head. No thanks. I am waiting to see what the doc has to say since I don't think he quite believed me when I said I was plain miserable and felt 80 in a 45 year old's body. Surely with an estradiol level of <5, he will believe me now lol. So yes, my thyroid levels have clearly been affected by the up and down swings of these rotten hormones. I haven't had my period since January 27th, and I am really hoping that THIS time it isn't coming back. I'm cooked!
