A member asked:
I know that perimenopause and hypothyroid symptoms overlap. outside of bloowork, is there a way to know the difference between the two?

Bloodwork best opt: There is no really good tool aside from bloodwork to make a definative (certain) diagnosis. Due to the serious nature of hypothyroidism, please see your doctor and get the appropriate tests done. Its worth it for your future good health.
