Answer 1

Symptoms are : Fatigue, depression, moodiness, constipation, dry and/or brittle nail and hair, lack of concentration, irregular periods, muscle and/ joint pain, puffy hands or feet, lack of sex drive, poor circulation and memory loss. Here are some names of some med. to take- thyromine,Alvidar, thyax. If it is your thyroid and you get some med. they say most women do lose weight. Here is a wed site you can go to (progressive Health.com-thyroid treatment)

Answer 2

Basically under active will produce symptoms of weight increase, fatigue, depression, loss of appetite and is controlled by medication call Thyroxine.
over active symptoms are loss of weight, rushing around, bulging eyes, heart palpatations, and you can be tired this is controlled by carbimazole which is kind of like a beta blocker.
Both thryoid conditions can make you tired and you can also suffer with a goitre (swolen Neck)
My advice get to a doctor- get a blood test for THS (thyroid stimulating hormone) T3 and T4- this will show your results and the doctor will treat you according to your results.
Make sure you go every month for a blood test to start with and then less and less when it is under control.
Hope this helps

Answer 3

If you have an under active thyroid you will gain weight, This means you just dont have the energy to do very much. Go and see you doctor and explain it to him/her, you can be given medication to help you. Dont bother with any slimming pills, your just wasting your time, the weight might come of if you take them, but it wont stay off, speak to your GP. Hope this helps you.

Answer 4

Main symptoms are tiredness and weight gain. There is a simple blood-test to determine whether or not this is the problem. Medication is a tablet, usually taken in the morning, called thyroxine. There are no usual side-effects and no long-term problems.
Weight should drop off naturally quite quickly once the correct dose is being taken

Answer 5

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/CGgWN
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.
