Answers:
Have you had a blood test to check your TSH levels!? If you haven't, go see your doctor who can arrange for you to have a blood test which will be able to tell if your thyroid is over or under-active!. The signs for an over active thyroid (hyperthyroidism) are: Weight loss, Heat intolerance and sweating,Irritability,Palpitations,Muscl!.!.!. weakness,Bowel movements,Menstruation problems, skin,hair and nails become weaker!.
You can sometimes get lumps (goiter) if you have either hypothyroidism (under-active) or hyperthyroidism!.
Remember periods can be irregular until you are eighteen!. I would go to your doctors and explain about your menstruation problems and about the lump just to be sure and get things checked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I told you before that I have many lumps like that on my neck, my doctor told me it's nothing and I suspect they are lipomas!. Maybe you are underweight which is why you have no period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
