Anyone had any disputes about this and getting a diagnosis?
Recently found out 4 immediate family members have this condition and my grandma had it too. I fit a lot of the symptoms - extreme fatigue, weight gain, poor memory was always great before, heavier periods than used to be - but I have heard that it can be an issue getting a diagnosis. I am not one for reading every other website on medical conditions or trying to get things diagnosed which I do not have but there does seem to be some controversy about this so I am not sure I want to take a receptionist's breezy "it's normal" as the last word. I think I might go back to my GP and ask for a bit more detail.
