It may just be paranoia, although what first brought it to my attention of the possibility that I could have it is being sensitive to the cold. I find myself being very cold when others are not. Even when I put on extra clothing, or wrap a blanket around me I find it difficult to not feel cold or warm up. Researching underactive thyroid I found this to be a symptom. It also runs in my family with many aunts and uncles on my mums side suffering with the condition. I would say I struggle with losing weight also. Other symptoms include poor memory and concentration which lately I have found to be very frustrating. I would forget things very quickly, within the space of minutes. I also find that my nails are quite brittle, although i would say that they have always been that way. I know it is more common in older people, but there is still a chance of younger adults developing this condition.
I may just be trying to self diagnose when there is no need but I am considering going to the doctors. Has anyone else been diagnosed around the same age as myself?? any comments would be greatly appreciated.
