I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid problems about 15 years ago. The reason I was tested for it was because a doctor I was seeing for a problem with my shoulder noticed the large lumps on both sides of my throat. You can litteraly feel the glands just by touching my throat. However 15 years and 6 doctors later I still have not found one who is willing to put me on any medication to help it. They all say it is not a severe enough problem. The hormone problems that go along with this also cause excessive hair growth. Their answer? Just learn to live with it!!!
