OP,
Good question!
Ok, here's my list:
1996 Hyperthyroidism treated with radioactive iodine. Done twice.
1997 Hypothyroid from previous treatment
Gained 100 pounds within 6 months
Weight mostly located in middle stomach
Testosterone, Cholesterol
and Triglycerides dangerously high
Periods stopped
While being checked for Cushing's etc.
found brain tumor called "meningioma"
Ulcers on tongue
Pericardial Effusion
Fatty liver
Plus all the symptoms of PCOS except infertility
So that's my menu.
These symptoms and signs all developed within a 6 month period. With all the doctors and treatments I have been through, the only change in the last 4 years is getting my period back recently after starting glucophage. Still looking for the elusive doctor that can look at all these ala carte ailments and produce one disorder.
Thanks for reading this far,
Opal
