Suggest Treatment For Lethargy, Joint Aches And Weight Gain
I have been feeling very tired (sleepy) each day, am having high water retention, my arms, fingers, and legs take turns aching every night and I m putting on weight without eating enough to do that. Can t get into see my doctor until 8/31 and am miserable. I m also cold often but not too much. I m getting 7-8 hours of sleep and still need to take naps during the day.
Feeling cold, gaining weight, body pains and feeling lethargic may be due to a problem with the thyroid gland function. It is important that you have the TSH and FT4 checked to make sure if your thyroid is working properly or not.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Antoneta Zotaj,
