You have Hashimoto's, an autoimmune condition. Only you know if you have stress surely?

You've been given good advice in an earlier thread.

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

The other member didn't say you have stress. She said

"Your symptoms of heavy periods to none could possibly be a sign of stress and or symptoms of auto immune? "

So "possibly" stress or "symptoms of autoimmune"

Other members have confirmed you have autoimmune thyroid disease.

Zoey20,

She said: Your symptoms of heavy periods to none could possibly be a sign of stress and or symptoms of auto immune? Another member said it was more likely that undermedication was the cause and I think that is more likely. Low iron can also cause heavy periods so ask your GP to check ferritin level.
