I was diagnosed with Hashimotos almost three weeks ago and am having crazy symptoms. To top it all off I think I have entered the lovely land of perimenopause. Can anyone advise me on the symptoms??

Oh man, that's awful. So you probably have to keep getting your levels checked then? Super annoying.

Sooooo many symptoms. If you take a few hours and read through as much of this forum as you can, you'll learn A LOT.
I don't know what I'd do without this place lol
I do wonder sometimes if I have a thyroid issue, but don't have insurance so I don't know :-(
I haven't gained weight though- I've actually lost.
Most of my symptoms are headaches, anxiety, heart palpitations, weird "heavy head" feelings or random pains in random places that last a second and then go away lol
It's a crazy time!

I've never had weight gain with hypothyroidism. I've always been pretty skinny. A dermatologist found a goiter on my neck when I was a teenager. That's how I found out.

Oh wow really?
It runs in my family, I know that much, and usually around my age they're diagnosed (46-50)
I've also read a ton of stuff about thyroid issues being controlled by food and naturally? No idea about that- but I'm all for the natural route when it works .

You should just pay for the blood test if you have a familial thing going on.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't take any natural specific pills for it, I'm too paranoid lol. "Peri-noid"
