Since Christmas I have gained over 2 stone, have had hair loss at the temples, been extremely tired, could sleep all day and night. My skin is dry on my face and hands no matter how much I moisturise them. My Doc took blood which came back clear. I am 47 female and have been on HRT for 14 yrs. I eat organic healthy food, excerise daily walking over 10,000 steps (using a pedometer to moniter my calorie burn ) and yet have gained weight.. what can be wrong..
I feel awful, fuzzy headed, grumpy, and depressed.

    Based on the symptoms you are listing here, it surely sounds as if you have the beginnings of hypothyroidism. Have you been checked for this at all within the last six months? If not, I suggest that you have your personal physician look into it. You can get more information from Mary Shomon’s website on about.com. Hope this helps!http://www.thyroid.about.com

  • Could be lack of iron, Polycystic ovaries, thyroid problem, estrogen dropping – see another doctor if you feel he hasn’t done the proper tests.
