I have some of the symptoms of thyroid disorder, but not all of them. I have irregular periods(I usually skip about 2 or 3 months), cold intolerance and low body temp, hair loss, mild weight gain, and memory loss. I do not suffer from depression, joint pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, or heart palpitations. I went to a docter and the test came out neg. Do I have enough symptoms to be concerned and be re-tested?

Hi christen,
Please read our stories and the Information Archive topic for lots of info that can answer your questions.
Yes, you may be hypo and have so-called negative test results. But you need a doctor that listens to symptoms. One may have any, all, or the reverse (hyper) symptoms and still be hypo.

You need a doctor that really understands thyroid and most don't. Do you have any test results? If not, you need a copy of the test and we would like if you posted it here.
