I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid about ten years ago. This was probably about 20 years after I first developed the problem. I finally have a wonderful doctor that is very attentive to how I feel in addition to the numbers. I believe this is at the root of many of my other medical problems; such as sleep apnea, depression, obesity, and the constant pain I am in. I would like to speak with others about this issue and how they are dealing with it. Please respond.
