The improv thing is awesome Becky!!!

Do you have dark armpits and collarbone area too?

[happytortoise]

Holy poop, dark armpits are a symptom???? Because the other day my mom was asking me why my armpits were darker than the rest of my skin! She made fun of me! That's AWESOME!! Well, not awesome, but it's great to know what the cause is. Anyway, my collarbone area isn't dark that I know of. Do you have an underactive thyroid too?

[curlygurlie616]

no, but the pcos thing that I have has some of the sympotms u described, especially excessive weight gain, plus dark armpits which have to do with insulin imbalance and some other really fun (not)symptoms, so if it's not the thing you think it might be, it could be pcos.

cool cool, thanks for your help. interesting stuff. i think it's probably just hypothyroidism because it does run in my family. also, my armpits aren't that dark, just dark enough for my mom to make fun of me. :D hahah.

PCOS does have similar symptoms but I doubt you have it if you don't have irregular periods in same shape or form (ie not having them at all or having insane bleeding)

yeah, i'm thinking it's just hypothyroidism. fun!
