Anyone experience any thyroid issues? Symptoms? I think I may need to go get checked out but my insurance isn't covering me right now due to my dropping a class and being a part time student instead of full time. So, unwisely, I'm trying to self diagnose in the mean time. Sigh. The bold ones are the ones I've experienced/am experiencing. On top of that- 3 of my Mom's sisters have thyroid problems. Is it genetic?
