Hypothyroidism is the insufficient production of thyroid hormones and is a very common complaint.  Between 10%-25% of people suffer but go undiagnosed.  Many peoples lives are drastically affected as standard GP tests are not sensitive enough to pick up mild forms of this illness.

Symptoms

Fatigue, feeling the cold particularly cold hands and feet, hoarse voice (women) dry skin, muscle/joint weakness, constipation, weight gain, depression , poor memory, thinning hair and brittle nails, fertility problems & heavy or irregular periods
