Far more women than men get this and there are masses of people going around with this undiagnosed condition - at a mild level which, nevertheless, causes misery. Diagnostic chemical testing ranges are far too wide to pinpoint these many people who get the Thyroid Function Test only to be told by their Doctor that there's no problem there.





Do a quick visual check on your bodily hair, starting with the eyebrows. Has the outer third of the brows disappeared? Do you rarely have to shave under your arms / on your legs? Are you overweight and constantly feeling tired? Are you often depressed? If so, why not look further into thyroid replacement treatment?

Hope that helps!Any suggestions about hair loss; I'm 62 and female?
