Hi Ellie, Since you are so knowledgable about thyroid problems, I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me.
H has many of the symptoms of thyroid problems, as do other members of his family.
Lately he has a strange odor about him. Not body odor (in fact, I've never smelled him sweaty in the 11+ yrs we've been together), but more like strong breath odor. I am embarrassed as all get out to even write this, and I will DIE if he sees this.
This is not like him and it came on suddenly. He is under job stress but is not visibly "stressed out". He's sleeping okay (as okay as he ever does, that is). I am baffled by the sudden change in his 'smell'. In addition, his hair started falling out a couple months ago (?? not sure when that started, we have small kids and I easily lose track of time).
At any rate, can you tell me if this is a sign of thyroid dysfunction? I looked on the usual thyroid sites but couldn't find anything. Some of your posts have given me more info on thyroid problems--and specific symptoms that he has--than these so-called expert sites.
