Here is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested. I have also given several links below to read & perhaps you can read through & understand the different thyroid symptoms & problems.
I have low thyroid. I do NOT, however, have any cholesterol problems...other than the fact that I need to excercise more, but my cholesterol levels are great. I have had it for 10 years. I came about after I had my second child. Most people can do well, but myself, if I even miss a day or two, I get super tired, and VERY cranky. My body literally ate up my thyroid...it's almost non-existent. I am on 300mg of levoxyrothin.
If you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: Can you see the floor of your house? That was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!
Anyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.
If you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are: increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.
I take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. There's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. I hope i've helped you!!

If you have even subclinical hypothyroidism, your metabolism can slow, with the result that your body has less ability to clear cholesterol from your bloodstream rapidly. The longer the cholesterol is in your blood, the more likely that it will oxidize, and it is oxidized cholesterol that damages your arteries.
You want to get the cholesterol that you eat and that your body produces out of your blood quickly and avoid oxidation by eating a diet rich in antioxidants. It is easy to check for hypothyroidism, though you might be in the "normal" range and still be at a subclinical hypothyroid level. The best thing is to have your thyroid function checked by your doctor and, regardless of the result, eat a diet rich in fiber and antioxidants and low in saturated fat.

With a family history of thyroid problems, my cholesterol has always been high (260-280). After having my thyroid removed, my doctor monitored my cholesterol regularly. But nothing really changed. However, I started taking Kyolic garlic with lecithin and brewer's yeast (no other change in diet or exercise). Now, my cholesterol is at 212, and my good cholesterol (HDL) is better than average.

There are no "magical words" however the most likely answers would be 1.I love you 2. I am yours 3. I need you 4. I want you 5. Will you marry me? (not three but definitely enriches the right relationship)
