How your thyroid can make you sick, tired and overweight

Are your vague, uncomfortable symptoms just a normal part of life - or are they signs of a bigger problem. In part one of an important two-part blog, Dr. Mark Hyman tells you how seemingly unrelated symptoms can signal a common chronic condition - and explains why your doctor may not take it seriously.

This is great (BEYOND great) ,but what are you supposed to do when your doctor doesn't DO any of this? Typically it's ME going in and asking for certain tests. A few days later, a nurse or secretary will call my voice mail and leave a message saying, "Your test are fine." and that's the end of the story. NO follow up or other options from the doctor and no way to REACH the doctor except if I make another appointment. I've started asking for copies of my tests but I'm not medically trained.

@katiecakes28 if it doesn't get any better whilst taking your medication regulary ask your practitioner about adding T3 [liothyronine] to your regime. I needed to add this in order to feel well again. Hope you feel well soon x

[katiecakes28]

I am 17 years of age and have suffered from an under active thyroid all my life, however unlike having half a thyroid i have not got one, meaning i really on my tablets i was based on 125 mg however being young i never remembered to take them cause sickness i then felt so bad when i started to remember them i increasing them 200mg and feel awful, sick, unwell and unable to concentrate, i have never felt this way before and just want to lye in bed all day.
