Hi Everyone,

I really need somebodys help please! I have all the symptoms of an underactive thyroid:

Extreme being sensitive to cold,
extreme constipation,
depression,
tiredness,
slowness in body and mind,
muscle aches and weakness,
muscle cramps,
dry and scaly skin,
brittle hair and nails,
heavy or irregular periods
Extreme weight gain.

I have had tests in the past and been told I have a slight small goiter in my neck but my tests show as "normal" and I do have a risk of having underactive thyroid in the future but not now!

I have recently been diagnosed with Reynauds Disease as I am extremely sensitive to the cold and get very purple hands and feet that turn white and blue and red!

I have looked online and it says that a likely cause for Raynauds disease is an Underactive Thyroid!!

I have gained so much weight over the years, for example I have gained a stone since July with no change in my diet at all and I walk alot everyday because I can’t drive and I do eat a healthy diet

I am adamant I have an underactive thyroid as i have every symptom! even Raynauds disease! and I need to know how am I going to prove to the Doctor I do or to run more thorough tests! I have been told I have antibodies positive in my thyroid just normal in my thyroid apparently.

My test results were on: ,
24.11.09 - TSH 2.34miU/L & Free T4 14.1pmol/L
08.10.2009 - TSH 1.76miU/L with Free T4 13.1pmol/L

I don’t know what these mean! but can please somebody give any advice I can’t take gaining weight anymore and suffering all these symptoms all the time and no one listening!

Sorry for ranting and rambling on!

Thank you! xx

I have all the symptoms (for months now) pointing towards hypothyroidism - low body temperature (95-97), always cold, constipation, dry skin/thinning hair, tired, etc. I recently had TSH test, which came back normal. Yet, I am going in to see an endocrinologist since I know something ISNT normal. From this alone it is obvious that something is not right with my thyroid gland…however, there is something else that I wasn’t sure may have an influence. A few weeks my lymph node under my neck swelled up, became tender…I soon develop aching head sickness and fought it days later. I assumed the swollen lymph node was just a response to fight the infection. It continues to remain today (which isn’t suprising) and this evening it started to become tender again, slightly more inflammed.
I was wondering if there was any connection btwn the inflammed lymph node and my other symptoms, AND if there are any other causes of my symptoms OTHER than hypothyroidism.

Click here to learn how to reduce your fluoride exposure purewaterfreedom.com A news report about the dangers of water fluoridation. According to the US National Research Council, “several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride exposure on thyroid function” - particularly among individuals with an iodine deficiency. Fluoride’s potential to impair thyroid function is most clearly illustrated by the fact that — up until the 1970s — European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid). Fluoride was utilized because it was found effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland - even at doses as low as 2 mg/day. Today, many people living in fluoridated communities are ingesting doses of fluoride (1.6-6.6 mg/day) that fall within the range of doses (2 to 10 mg/day) once used by doctors to reduce thyroid activity in hyperthyroid patients. This is of particular concern considering the widespread problem of hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) in the United States. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include obesity, lethargy, depression, and heart disease. Click here to learn how to reduce your fluoride exposure

I have a bit thyroid, had an ultra sound about 8 years ago & was told it was fine, just large. For the past year, I’ve noticed I’m very tired, just can’t get it together, I’ve gained 15 pounds in 2 months without changing my diet at all, I don’t eat the fats, or yucky stuff, I kept a diary of all foods going in & the caloric amounts, only 1000 - 1200 a day. My arms & legs ache all the time, I have horrible muscle cramps in the legs, my face is puffy, my stomache is always bloated no matter what I eat, I cut out diet soda, cut out starches. My nails used to be very long, they are now brittle, my hair was long, it is now short, it breaks so easy. I had my thyroid tested last year and was told it was on the low end of normal. Could this be an underactive thyroid? If it is, once corrected will the weight come off? It’s very upsetting to see weight gain without the benefit of pigging out! Could this affect blood sugar?
