Anyone have hypothyroidism? What were your symptoms before you were diagnosed?

Answer 1

Yes, I've recently been diagnosed within the past two years with Hashimoto's disease (hypothyroidism). My symptoms were weight gain that would not come off, depression, crying for no reason...I felt like I was literally losing my mind!! It was like my life was spinning out of control. I thought it was clinical depression, so I went to my doctor and found that it was my thyroid. I'm now on levoxyl and am feeling soooooooo much better!!

Answer 2
