Note: I
seem to be making some big improvements here! Also, be sure to read the ones that
aren't highlighted.
The following is a list of symptoms I have experienced while suffering from hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, low progesterone, endometriosis and PCOS. Others thyroid patients have experienced these as well (see bottom of page).
The symptoms highlighted in yellow (32) are still present but better than they were the last time I updated this list.
The symptoms highlighted in green (17) are totally gone, at this point.
The symptoms highlighted in red (7) are worse than the last time I updated this list; all of them are better than they were in January.
Symptoms that aren't highlighted (20) are the same.
