The Medical Bit....

Signs and Symptoms of Hypothyroidism. I suffer from this and I thought I would highlight it because it does not get the coverage that Diabetes gets. Luckily I take the necessary drug 'thyroxine' to counter it. It is a lot more common than people think and unless you have a family history of it (it's mainly hereditary) you are unlikely to be tested for it. Something like 1 in 6 women and 1 in 50 men suffer from it. Undiagnosed it can be a pain and I still need a lot of sleep, and before anyone starts making smart alec comments, yes the plunbing still works fine. Incidentally my dog also has it.
