What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism?
I am seeing an endoctrinologist. He just sent me for blood work - 17 vials to check my thyroid, cortisol, adrenals, and everything else under the sun. He has already started me on a bioidentical thyroid medication because he said I have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
