Hello to all you knowledgeable ladies.I am new And it's all a little sad but we need these personal experiences recorded to help each other out.I am now 52 and menopausal BUT on top of this I have just been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.When I had my last child they said I had Post Natal depression.I have never been myself since that day.I was labeled then with anxiety and panic attacks put on antidepressants for 25 years that never worked.My quality of life has been very low.Because of that label I am constantly dismissed.long story short After 25 years they have done the appropriate blood tests and I was diagnosed.So it does explain everything I have been feeling including having a baby with birth defects Cleft lip and palate.A lot of the symptoms are very similar to PMS.80% of your thyroid blood tests come back normal but you still have symptoms of thyroid.Its all to long to write here but please ask if you would like to know anything.Googl Hashimoto's symptoms they are very like menopause so you can just meaning how sick we are with both.
My question for everyone here is I started taking HRT Kliovance Ta 1mg 0.5 mg EST I am on day ten
My symptoms are so tired like a zombie at times.Slightly sore tummy.And four moods in a day I can't believe how much I am crying.Just want to ask if this will all go soon. Xxx
