I’m 14 and I went to the doctor because my hair is thinning. they took my blood and when the results came in they said I have an underactive thyroid. what are other symptoms of an underactive thyroid other than hair loss? i weigh 97-100 lbs..so i’m not overweight.
the doctor called in a prescription for me. how long am i going to have to stay on this medication?? will i have to stay on it for life??
thanks!

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and take medication to control it. I am having other symptoms and am wondering if I may have hyperparathyroidism. Is there a correlation between the two?

My mom is 72 yrs old. On Nov 27 of last year her GP sent her to a thyroid specialist and was told that she should take this nuclear medicine RAI Pill to kill her thyroid and once that was done, they would put her on thyroid pills to control her thyroid. Since taking this RAI pill her BP and Diabetes is totally out of wack ! Her BP has gone up 218/90 . The doctor put her on Norvasc and the diabetes specialist put her on topazole. Her BP seems to be getting better but her diabetes is still bad. She started getting a really bad rash since this weekend, and her GP told her to stop taking the 4 pills of topazole for a couple of days until she gets to see her thyroid specialist next monday. My mom had her BP and
diabetes under control before taking this RAI pill. She thought she was going for a routine thyroid check up. Why are we not getting any answers from her doctors? Her GP said that he is not responsible for medication given to her from the other doctors. What is going on ?

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?

I have been on the treatment for anti-immune hyperthyroid for 16 months. The doctor has told me I can stop medication immediately as blood levels are back to normal. Does the thyroid kick back into action immediately? Or should I expect to go through a period of slugglishness beforehand while the thyroid wakes up again?
