I'm hypothyroid too, which is low thyroid levels. There are a lot of symptoms that go with thyroid problems and they're easily found on the internet. It's not hard to check and see if your levels are off. It's just a blood test. Then to get it under contol (if it's low) you just take a pill a day and have your levels checked occasionally. If your levels are high it's a different story and depends on what is causing the problem on how it's treated. The thyroid controls a lot of things in our bodies and if you suspect that you are having problems I strongly suggest that you go and talk to a doctor. The problems will not go away on their own and will only get worse. Good luck and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Here's a site that tells a little about high and low thyroid problems. http://thyroid.about.com/cs/basics_s...a/symptoms.htm

I forgot to say "Welcome" in my post. I'm a member of YT too but I enjoy talking about a lot of other things besides my dog. You'll find that we're a very friendly group of women so come back and join us often. I'll look forward to seeing you here!!!

Hypo here too. Found out in May, Was tired all the time, brittle nails, driy skin,
mood changes. Had blood test. Mine wasn't working at all. Go back this month for another blood test. Med's have helped greatly. Have lost 13 pounds was 123 now I'm down to 110. Good luck. And welcome aboard too. I don't talk about dogs because I don't have any. But thats ok.
