With the exception of...

Weight gain, hair loss, constipation, memory loss and abnormal menstral cycles this is me!!! Of course many of the symptoms below seemed to have come with WLS...coarse dry hair, dry rough skin, hair loss, constipation (not lately though - but that's another topic), cold intolerance, decreased libido, etc... Doo dah, doo dah. I'm seeing an endocrinologist for my parathyroid and now I find out that I have a multinodular goiter on my thyroid (multiple nodes on my thyroid). I have an u/s a week from Friday for both the parathyroid and thyroid and a biopsy on the largest thyroid node the following Monday. What caused me to look this up was the muscle aches I was having without any exercise. Symptoms of Hypothyroidism 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 Symptoms of Parathyroid Issues are summed up as: moans, groans, stones, and bones. Body aches and pains, kidney stones and loss of bone. Luckily no kidney stones but I have bone loss (osteopenia). And goodness knows I p*ss and moan often... Argh! Kathy - the walking list of symptoms
