I am feeling really confused and kinda worried about my health right now. Lately, I have been dealing with extreme tiredness, gaining weight even tho I’m eating the same, and my skin is super dry. I have done some reading and I think it might be connected to thyroid issues, but I’m not sure. Like, what are the early warning signs of thyroid problems? Have any of you seen patients with similar symptoms? I have also noticed my hair is thinning a bit, which I heard can be a sign too? It’s frustrating because I went to my doctor and they just ran some tests, but nothing seemed off on the blood work, at least according to them. I feel like there has to be more to it. I wanna know how to heal your thyroid naturally, without relying too much on meds. Are there certain foods or practices you recommend? What are the symptoms of thyroid problems in females, because honestly, I’m feeling all over the place and worried it might get worse if I don’t figure it out soon. I’m also curious about the 20 signs of thyroid problems — I’m guessing I might have missed some. Would love any insights or advice!!
