I have just been diagnosed and am waiting for an appointment. I initially went to the GP as I was breathless (I am generally pretty fit) over the slightest thing, but now I know what is causing it I think I have a few of the symptoms (thinning hair is one, even though nobody else seems to have noticed when I mentioned it!)
I have also recently lost 16b over 3 months by cutting out alcohol, or so I thought... I am very fit and presumed that that was the only thing hindering my weight loss. I know how shallow this is, but I would be really pissed off it I now put it back on again and it was due to the thyroid! Is this likely to be inevitable? Also, I am now seeing things about mood swings and anxiety, and all sorts of awful sounding side effects of the drugs.
I have been referred to the hospital to be seen 'soon' and would like to know what to expect - thank you!
