1) What are the symptoms? as of today.

Fatigue and exhaustion.
Slow pulse.-- doc nurse makes me very upset
Low blood pressure.-- doc nurse makes me very upset
High cholesterol. 215 in spring doc says is too high
Losing hair, dry, coarse, brittle hair.--hair very thin due to no testosterone; and use hair bleaching product to "thicken" the strands; not falling out like NACHEW describes hers.
+ Rough scaly, dry, itchy skin.-- very thin, dogs rip open with claws 1-2 times a week. Looks like my nothers 80 yr old skin.; dry, very fine wrinkles
Nails are brittle and break easily.-- hard to tell given farm life

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, arm or leg tendonitis or plantar fasciitis.---no
Irregular menstrual cycles (longer, heavier, more frequent)-- moot point
Infertility, miscarriages.---moot point

Swelling in the face, around the eyes, face and hands.--- huge bags under eyes; knuckles swell if I dont stay LC
Eyebrows scanty, outer third maybe almost non-existant.-- YES for YEARS, become my normal
Sleeping a lot and still not feeling well-rested.--- could be due to sleep apnea too; or screen time.
