Actually from what my doctor told me, thyroid problems are usually inherited, and its mainly women who get them. My mother and my granny both had thyroid problems, although they were underactive, now my daughter just had a blood test because we think she has an overactive thyroid. |

They won't put me on thyroxine and its ****ing me off! Got....dry hair, dry skin, weight gain, voice drop, when I get cold I can't get warm, sleep for England, lethargic, memory loss, depression, early onset menopause. And to cap it all I have a goitre! All could be aliviated by thyroxine but they won't put me on it because all prescriptions would then be free! Grrrrrrrr!!! Viv |

Most common symptoms weight gain and tiredness, though amongst other things you can have memory loss that is sometimes misdiagnosed as early onset altzymers(spelling) Thats the latest symptom that I've added to my list lately. |
