Tricky things thyroids.
I was studying for my orthopaedic nursing certificate and it was the first time I was specialing a pedestrian versus car with multiple fractures and head injury patient by myself. I had this diarrhoea so bad that I was just putting out mucus. I thought it was just stress. But I seamed to have allot of energy. My period was extremely heavy - super tampon and super pad every two hours, tampon falling out from overflow. Periods for 10 days long.
Three years of this later after going back to my then GP and telling her I had heavy periods and overweight missy telling me it was normal... a new GP was there. A slim one, not an overweight one. She took one look at me and said "you have a thyroid problem'. As I was very slim I thought she meant hyperthyroid. When the tests came back the new GP said it was autoimmune hypothyroid. I have hyper symptoms as well. Health Question & Answer
