Hi I am new to the site and I am 27 years old. For the first time in 11 years I have gained more weight around my middle, get ringing in my ears, got dry skin on my fingers and hands, blotches appearing on my arms and legs, dark circles under eyes, bowel movements becoming less frequent, pins and needles, tiredness, cramps in legs, low heart rate, losing hair and my periods are coming out so heavy the blood looks as though someone has stabbed me! Is it likely something else is going on based on these symptoms? I take 800iu D3 and 5mg folic acid. Thanks for reading.
