Been taking thyroid meds for more than 15 years



I have been working on thyroid problems for 5 years now so probably I can help.

Well most wide-spread symptoms are: general fatigue, causeless depression, being unable to concentrate, abnormalities in menstrual cycles, causeless weight gain and so on.

I'd suggest visiting http://thyroidsupplements.info/ - there you can get more comprehensive information about the symptoms and what they indicate.



Hello tasha, there are many health problems associated with thyroid function, or should I say malfunction. These problems can certainly include weight problems as well as several issues related to low metabolic function 9tiredness etc.). There is a lot of information on this issue and I hope this will help you,
All the best
