August 27, 2017What were the first symptoms you noticed?
All above symptoms, except the weight gain. I had brain fog, woke up in a confusing about what to do. Words would go away, could not recall everyday items and people. My boss made fu of me, knowing that I was suffering. I was terrified. My primary doctor refused to help. My psychiatrist just wanted to give ne anti depressants. I refused. Finally, my rumatoligist tested me for everything, 7 vials of blood. I am off water pills ,blood pressure medication and arthritis pills. More on reddit.com

February 11, 2022What were your first symptoms before you were diagnosed?
Super depressing, but it happened when I became pregnant and had it terminated. I grew a goiter and gained 30lbs. My aunt has it too, had to have her thyroid surgically removed. In fact, every woman in my family has some level of hypothyroidism (specifically Hashimotos), and it always rears it's ugly head after they've had children. I've been basically normal since going back on birth control (except for the lump in my neck, still getting it checked for cancer yearly)
When it happened I gained weight, got super depressed, was always tired... but all of that was easily explained away by my having an abortion. That is, until it just didn't end. It went on for years before I was diagnosed. Somehow I've normalized again, without ever having had medication. My health insurance ran out, and by the time I was covered again my doctor said I didn't need it. Go figure.
