Hypothyroidism is described as a disease that is responsible for making your thyroid less active than it should be. That is because the thyroid gland starts to produce fewer hormones than usual.

Being diagnosed with this disease can cause a lot of health problems, such as digestive issues, difficulty losing weight, hair falling, changes in the way your brain is functioning, etc.

The thyroid gland sits in front of your neck and it has a shape similar to a butterfly. The hormones that this gland releases are very important when it comes to energy use and the way the other organs function.

During the early stages of this disease, you can notice a few symptoms that may occur. If you don’t treat this health affection, it can have bad repercussions and it can lead to severe issues and complications, including heart disease and infertility among younger women.

We did a bit of research for you and we’ve discovered 12 signs you might suffer from hypothyroidism. Here they are:

The article on 12 signs you might have Hypothyroidism is very informative. Thank you.
I would like more articles on Hypothyroidism as I have the disease, and I need to understand the disease better.

My GP had never explained hypothyroid to me. I was losing hair, putting on weight and feeling tired all the time and my GP never suggested it. It was s friend said I might have it so i asked for a test which was positive so I was put on 100g thyroxine . I’m still losing hair and can’t lose weight and am tired all the time. I think I’m tested annually but don’t know why I’m still feeling so awful. Is there any other treatment other than thyroxine,? I’m getting so depressed by this…

I’m going through the same thing, hair loss, weight gain, and complete exhaustion. I too am on 100g thyroxine. I’d love to find out what else I can do besides just taking a pill every morning.

Try the more expensive Synthroid if your insurance can cover some or all of it. Many sufferers say this brand name is distinctly better- I know it is for me after trying both at different times. Good luck with any other adjustments you can ask more about.

I am interested in essential details regarding the ‘life style’ , could you , please point out which are the needed changes in the life style ?
The article is useful as a guide though details are what I need .
Thank you.

Very informative. Thank you for writing this article. I would like to know what they commonly use for medication for this.
