Hair Loss Underactive Thyroid
If it’s not hashimoto’s, what is it?
For two years I have suffered with hypothyroid symptoms and eighteen months ago I developed a lump on my thyroid.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis runs in my family, my Mum was diagnosed at 32 and both my aunt and my Nana have it. I have TPO antibodies but my thyroid function tests have always been within reference range, therefore my GP says I don’t have hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an underactive thyroid or an autoimmune disease and I don’t need to be treated with thyroxine.
My symptoms include; extreme tiredness, always very cold, dry skin, weight gain, hair loss, swollen ankles, puffy face, breathlessness, achey muscles, joint pain, tingly/numbness in fingers and toes, heavy periods, irritability, forgetfulness and weak/breaking nails.
If it isn’t hashimoto’s, what could be wrong with me? I feel like I’m about seventy but I’m 33. I used to be very fit and active, now I struggle to climb the stairs.

Allergies (which can also be a result of low cortisol–common with hypothyroid patients)
sore feet (plantar fascitis); painful soles of feet
now how do I put this one politely….a cold bum, butt, derriere, fanny, gluteus maximus, haunches, hindquarters, posterior, rear, and/or cheeks. Yup, really exists.
By the way, my own experinence is that I was also in range whenever I was tested. However, I would go from hypo to hyperthyroid. It took my surgeon to finally diagnose me with Hashimoto’s over my Endo. I ended up have a total thyroidectomy due to a multi-nodule goiter caused by Hashi’s plus an iodine deficiency. I’m going to include a great web site for you to check out on all of this.
