I wasn’t sure which flair to tag with this one — but I’m looking for advice / experiences from people here who have experienced hypothyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism?

I am 47, been experiencing peri symptoms for two years. I began HRT about 3 months ago with 0.25mg estrogen gel and 100mg progesterone, but am still experiencing symptoms (joint and muscle pain, crushing fatigue, and anxiety and flat mood, no libido, weight gain).

But these symptoms overlap with hypothyroidism, and I just discovered through a blood test that I have subclinical hypothyroidism — my question is, how in the world do you know which symptoms are from peri and which are your thyroid?

Did HRT improve your thyroid symptoms?
