Anyone like to have a guess at what is wrong with me ?

[TheOriginalNutcracker]

I am making a gp appointment tomorrow but humour me.

Symptoms are...

Weight gain (2.6 stone in a year)
Tiredness ( i could sleep all day and still be tired at night)
Lethargy
Dry skin
Feeling like I am doing stuff in slow motion
Less tolerant of alcohol
Depression
Feeling either really hot or really cold

So, place your bets please, what do you think ?

Underactive thyroid

Ah ha that is my top choice aswell especially as it runs in my family.
I jut hope the doc agrees as I feel quite shockingly crap and i'm fed up of it now.

I will demand a blood test i think.

I have the same symptoms, didn't know the going from hot to cold to hot was a symptom
I've put on 2 stone
Am off to the dr too, hope all goes well

I think it is usual to feel cold not hot tbh, but then i did read that symptoms of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can sometimes overlap.

I am almost hoping i do have it tbh because if I don;t then wtf is it.

is lower alcohol tolerance a symptom of underactive thyroid

ime they are happy to test for it just on basis of tiredness, even without the family history.

Sorry i don't know that the alcohol thing is a symptom oh underactive thyroid. It is just one of the things I have.

It maybe nothing to do with that tbh.
