Do you have a thyroid issue? That is the question on many women’s minds these days. Do you have ongoing fatigue? Is it a struggle to lose weight no matter what you do? Are you often cold, and find that you need to wear a sweater or extra layers? If the answer to these questions is yes, it is likely that you have a thyroid issue even if you have been told that your test results are “normal”?

I saw my doctor and I was told my thyroid lab tests were normal. But I still feel like I may have a problem!
Take the following quiz:

  • Do you have difficulty losing weight?
  • Are you fatigued much of the day?
  • Do you find that you don’t have enough energy to exercise?
  • Do you crave coffee?
  • Do you feel better after exercise?
  • Are you prone to feeling cold or have cold hands and feet frequently?
  • Does your energy drop in the afternoon?
  • Are your bowel movements irregular, tending toward constipation?
  • Is the outer third of your eyebrows thinning or gone?
  • Are your muscles weak, achy or prone to cramping?
  • Do you have vertical ridges on your nails?
  • Do your fingernails break, crack, split or peel?
  • Is your hair falling out or thinning?
If you answered “yes” to more than 3, questions it is very likely that you have a thyroid issue.
