i went to my doctor because i was having problems going to the bathroom or better said constipation.
i got a blood test done at my doctors office to make sure i didnt have it, my test results came back normal. ive been worried because i have all the symptoms listed
itchy skin, hair loss, brittle hair ,i feel full bloted all the time , feel nausea, stress too much, tired all the time i just want to be in bed and do nothing all day.
i am really worried does anyone experience this if so can it be something other than hypothyroidism ??

I am having the exact same problems, plus huge weight gain mostly in my belly, thighs and rear... thinking i might have cushings as well due to the huge gain and big purple stretch marks everywhere... Plus my face is so chubby my second chin is bigger than the real one! :(
You can check your temperature in the morning for a pretty reliable sign. If your temperature is regularly below 97.8 you most likely have low thyroid levels.
I have seen mine as low as 95.2 :\
Also hair loss (especially the outer third of the eyebrows) is also a rather unique symptom.

Go to your doctor and have them check your TSH, Freee T3 and Free T4 to start, at least one of those should be off with the symptoms you are describing.

Good luck :)
