Ladies... Its shaerichelle..
I just spoke with a wonderful doctor. I am on my 13th month of trying to conceive. I am now having hair loss.. My cycles are getting longer and longer, sleep is becoming an issue again, I am always cold and have very little energy. and The big thing low body temps. Now I have had my thryoid checked often because hypothyroidism runs in my family.. Its normal.. but little did I know there is a thing called Wilson's Syndrome.. Its hypothyrodism..with low body temps and normal blood results. The doctor is pretty sure I have it after speaking with her. I told her about my chart over the past year.. SHe said a patient of hers had the same thing and had 3 miscarriages. She put her on T3 treatment and she is on her second pregnancy. I am sad that some doctors dont think this is real.. but to me it is..
Here is a big list of symptoms, which I have most of...

What's Wilson's Temperature Syndrome?
Classically, Wilson's Temperature Syndrome is:
a persistent but reversible slowing of the metabolism often brought on by the stress of illness, injury, or emotional trauma.
often worsened in stages with subsequent stress.
characterized by a low body temperature and classic low-thyroid-like symptoms.
often corrected with a special thyroid treatment even though thyroid blood tests are often in the normal range.
In addition, there are people who seem much more prone to developing Wilsons Temperature Syndrome than others. Their symptoms tend to:
Come on earlier in life, so early that some patients may not even know what it feels like to be normal.
Worsen more gradually over time.
Those who seem most prone to developing Wilson's Temperature Syndrome are those whose ancestors survived famine, such as Irish, Scot, Welsh, American Indian, Russian, etc.. Most susceptible of all seem to be those who are part Irish, and part American Indian. But under severe circumstances people of any nationality can develop Wilson's Temperature Syndrome.
About 80% of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome sufferers are women.

Oh and to see if you have it take your temp upon waking and then in 3 hour intervals 4 times a day for a week. write them down. they should be at least 98. Mine rarely reach that.
Awww babes missed you. Sorry you are going through this but glad they found out what it is and hopefully can get u the treatment to help.
