Menopause or Thyroid - Which is it?
by Lani Muelrath, M.A.
 
Eye-opening news from Mary Shomon in her new book, The Menopause Thyroid Solution.

Evidently, thyroid problems can mimic menopause - and peri-menopause symptoms - quite cleverly.  (Oh boy!)

In other words, if you are experiencing any of the following "challenges", it may be menopause - or maybe not.  Take a look at this list of menopause "mimics" that might be thyroid:

    * menstrual irregularities
    * sleep problems
    * weight changes
    * mood changes
    * loss of sex drive
    * hair loss
    * skin changes
    * elevated cholesterol
    * bone loss
    * fatigue and lack of energy
    * digestive disturbances
    * dryness
    * concentration or memory problems

According to Shomon, this is just a starter list!  In other words, if you have been to doc for sleep disturbance, mood swings and "brain fog", you may have been told "menopause!"....though the finger may really need to be pointed at thyroid problems.


Diagnosing thyroid is no easy task


As an opener, Shomon asked the crowd, "Who has been told my their doctor that 'Your thyroid is normal'?"  A majority of the women raised their hand.  And this is not an uncommon experience.

If you have felt foiled by all the confusing - and sometimes conflicting - information out there about thyroid problems....
