I'm curious, what are the symptoms of underactive thyroid? The reason I ask is I know my sister has been overweight all her life and about a year ago was diagnosed with under active thyroid. Shes on medication for it. I never got checked for it but was always curious about it. I kept my weight down with the help of phen, but honestly I'm afraid that when I dont take it I will gain. I also noticed Zoey mentioned about lumps on the side of the neck, I always thought the lump was around the adams apple. I have had a lump on the one side of my neck but I just never got it checked out, I know I should but I didn't. I noticed it about a month ago and its only on the one side. Its right under my right ear lobe. It doesn't hurt, just the thought of a lump is a little scary. I plan to go to my doctor and get it checked out after the holidays. Anyway, back to the question. What are the symptoms that you have underactive thyroid and what can I do about it? I never took any kind of prescription medication except phen.
Thanks for any posts who answers.
