THYROID AWARENESS

Did you know that thyroid disease is more common than diabetes or heart disease? Millions of people in the U.S. have thyroid diseases although half remain undiagnosed. These disorders are more common among women and tend to run in families. Fatigue is a common complaint for under- and over-active thyroid hormones. Since many symptoms may be hidden, the best way to know is to ask your doctor for a TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test to verify the condition of your thyroid gland.
