Sqad - underactive thyroid?

[netibiza]

Saw a programme the other day and it showed the body weight/shape that comes with this, and it also said that the neck/chin gets baggy and the eyebrows thin at the sides, all of which are happening to me, but this could also be old age. What is your opinion please?

[Sqad]

neti.........if your thyroid tests are normal, then one must assume that your signs described above are age related.

Hi sqad, I'm not due another test til Oct and honestly I think my hormones need sorting. But can these signs point to underactive thyroid?

[Sqad]

neti....yes they can, but do not assume that they ARE due to an inadequate dose of thyroxine, just wait until your tests return.
