Hypothyroidism Symptoms

I have alot of health issues but Im not exactly sure what all are from hypothyroidism. For example, for weeks now my hands have been really dry and Ive put lotion on them daily but they are still dry I thought it was just the weather until I figured out that the hypo would cause the dry skin. I also have issues with feeling very funny and spaced out. Like Im not there and I feel very clumsy and disoriented. I was wondering if anyone else feels like this sometimes and what other symptoms you have.

The symptom you mentioned we have a nick name, for we call it 'Brain Fog"  and the list of symptoms is long, Depression, Anxiety, Lower than normal body temps, causing you to be cold when everyone else is comfortable, Muscle and joint pain, muscle spasms, Dry skin, that can cause itchiness, constipation, digestive problems.Fatigue and there is probably a few I have missed, that does not mean you will have them all. some have more than others. The Brain Fog will go away with the right medication as most other symptoms, it just takes a while to find your optimum level of thyroid hormone medication. If you want to post your Condition, TSH Free T4 and Free T3 members can offer advice and helpful information. Welcome to the Forum  FTB4
