Over the last several years my symptoms
seem to have worsened- i thought it was
because i was turning 30! Im at the point
where my doctor and I are considering
taking me off work until it is resolved
because the symptoms have worsened
considerably over the last several months
(since December).
Here are the symptoms that seem to be
increasing over time......
-headache
-constant 'fog'
-sleep distruption (griding teeth, sleep
talking, insomnia etc)
-constant fatigue
-nasuea (this is new over the last month)
-dizziness
-mood changes/irritability
-difficulty with concentration & focus
My doctor is closing his practice next
month so Im kinda scared about how to
takle this one.
I have taken the sleep test at the
hospital and am awaiting
results........Any other ideas of what I
can try? My doctor has more or less said,
if its not a sleep disorder he thinks it
is either stress or depression- I find
that diognosis weak and depressing! Im not
convinced its either of those because my
symtoms have been around for most of my
life- they are just getting worse.
Any idea's/advice????? Please

I'm very sure you have lack of thyroid
hormones in your blood.
Hypothyroidism, usually, goes undiagnosed
for years, because symptoms develop
slowly, but get worse over time.
Changes in mood and personality simulating
psychiatric illness may be the most
salient features.
Have you noticed weight gain despite a
diminishing appetite?
Do you feel heat or cold intolerance?
Are you experiencing muscle cramps and
frequent muscle aches?
Have you noticed hair loss and dry skin?
