I had an ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit removed when I was 19, had severe candidiasis since I was 17, suffered from depression, dry hair, dry skin, sore throat, pre-menstrual bloating, etc. for YEARS, was diagnosed with ADD at 40 (always had the symptoms but no one made the connections), was diagnosed with B12 deficiency at 40 & hypothyroidism at 41 (diagnosed more or less by accident) and sometimes get weird skin rashes doctors can't diagnose. No treatments have worked to relieve ANY of my various symptoms and I feel so frustrated. When I took blood tests after 1st month of hypothyroidism diagnosis on .1mcg, tests came back normal so doctor left me on .1mg eltroxin with no relief of symptoms and this year's test diagnosed me extremely underactive so I've been on .15mcg for the last month and I'm gaining weight despite exercise and diet, my feet and hands are so swollen at night I can hardly walk. My mom, sister and aunt have all been diagnosed with hypothyroidism in last few years but don't have my severity or problems. If there's anyone out there with advice, considering I live in Saskatchewan with limited access to specialists, it would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find answers to any of my problems or if they're related. I'm startting to go crazy!
