I was diafnosed with underactive thyroid and quite a bad case of it, 2 of my aunts have it so I guess its genetically and it got so bad for one of my aunts that her voice deepened and she had to have the gland in her neck removed.

around march 2009 I started to feel weird, like I would walk 6 steps and I would get out of breathe, I would feel weak like if I wrote 2 lines of work from pen to paper my arm would ache, my joins were just so sore, my throat was always sore and my voice started to deepen and its like nothing cured my throat, I gained 30 pounds and my diet didn’t changed,my fingernails were soo brittle and thin and refused to grow, I was missing periods and when I did get them they were 10 days later and superr heavy, I always was catching flus I got one at least once a month, I was always tired and my muscles felt so weak, I use no products in my hair, and never ever use straighteners or curlers or blow dryers and my hair was soooooooooooooooo dry and fell out 24.7, i was losing hair daily and it was like dry straw. and my hands and feet began to become swollen, I looked up at these symptoms and it sounded like underactive thyroid so I had blood work done and it showed I had underactive thyroid and I’m starting medication tomorrow.. but these symptoms are soo hard to live with….

I am just wondering once I go on my pills will all these symptoms go away once I start my pills.. and the random 32 pounds I gained for no reason will that go away cause the doctor said that this did cause me to gain weight as it slowed down my metabolism..

I really am desperate for answers, they will help me so much.

Thank you and God bless.

It is usually a temporary condition. Iodine deficiency is a problem affecting approximately 100 million people around the world. Iodine is used by the thyroid to produce hormones. Although prevalent before the 1950s in the USA, iodine deficiency has been virtually wiped out by the use of iodized salt. A non-functioning thyroid gland affects one in 4000 newborns. If the problem isn’t corrected, the child will be physically and mentally retarded. The following conditions cause hyperthyroidism: With Graves’ disease, the entire thyroid gland might be overactive and produce too much hormone.

1.How is the action of a hormone similar to that of a nerve?
Because they both bring about responses
Because they are both delivered through the blood system
Because they are both issued from parts of the brain
Because they are both essential in puberty

2: What is diabetes and how is it treated?
The pancreas does not supply enough insulin and excessive amounts of sugar collect in the blood. It is treated by controlling diet and injecting extra insulin into the blood.

The thyroid gland is overactive and can cause weight-loss, irritability, and protrusion of the eyes. It is controlled through various medical procedures to reduce levels of thyroxin.

The pancreas produces too much insulin and breaks down the sugar in the blood too fast. It is treated by controlled diet and injecting insulin-suppressors into the blood.

The thyroid gland is under-active and people tend to become obese and slow in reactions. It is controlled by diet and injections of thyroxin.

I just found out today I have a thyroid disorder. I have been gaining alot of weight(in September I weighed 96 and now in July I weigh 109) and have not changed my diet and I have been exercising everyday. Also, my face has been breaking alot more than it used to. When I go on medication should I lose some of the weight I gained and should my face clear up?
