Hi Tony, I was diagnosed hypothyroid last year and am still in the process of getting the medication stabilised.

For me, symptoms were feeling constantly tired and down (and needing a couple of naps a day), headaches, weight gain which could not be reduced by more than 1-2 pound despite weightwatchers and 5 days a week down at the gym and feeling cold a lot.

Even going onto meds did not make any difference to losing weight until I began the Atkins scheme.

A simple blood test at the doctors will assess your levels. If you want to talk more about this, you are welcome to message me on yahoo (my address is on my profile) as I don't think I can pm on the group yet.

Good luck with it.
