Hi I am worried about my symptoms. Results before and during and after supplementing. Symptoms are tiredness, weight gain, constant throat clearing, throat feeling tight, swelling in front of neck, constipation, heavy periods, hair loss, eyebrow loss, cramps, pins and needles.
Thank you for any input!
