My first symptom was increasing fatigue, for about a year before weight gain began, rapidly followed by all the other hypo symptoms. (Note: I've recently been told that my hypothyroidism is secondary, i.e. caused by compromised pituitary activity.)

Wishing you well.

I first thought something was wrong when I started to get tired walking to the bus stop or nearby shops. This was really strange because it happened almost overnight. One day I could easily run to either without breaking a sweat. The next I got tired just walking and breathless if I tried to rush. I put it down to my age at first.

A few weeks later I started to get muscle and joint pains. Also leg cramps first thing in the morning. That's when I decided to see my GP. Four months later I was told that I have an underactive thyroid.
