My periods have stopped!!

[grade1nutty]

I have just turned 46, I have had night sweets for the past 12 years, since my youngest was born.I have been under a lot of stress in the last 12mths, I have put on weight and I am finding it very difficult to lose.

I also have got bladder problems and very loose stools, to the put of, thinking I am wetting myself BUT its diarrhoea, like water.I am also getting a lot of headaches, and could sleep the clock round.I just feel awful.Could it just be stress

It could well be stress, but quite honestly you really need to see your GP. He/she is the only person that can help you to find out what is going on, and other things need to be eliminated, especially regarding the diarrhoea.

I wish you loads of luck.

dont be alarmed but have you done a pregnancy test? just to rule it out.

i am not a doctor but i am 99% sure that you have an underactive thyroid. it runs in my family and your symptoms are similar. have a simple blood test and the doc will know straight away. he will put you on a drug called thyroxine and in no time you will feel on top of the world and your weight will fall off. an undetected underactive thyroid is dangerous so do ask your doctor sooner rather than later

Hi Julia, I have been told about thyroid problems b4, someone else thought that could be whats wrong with me,Are there any other symptoms because i did not post everything,it would take too long.I will be seeing a doctor, but we are moving countries, Turkey to France,end of march so will seek help there.Thank you.

And thanks to all answers. Kind Regards Karen
