    Help! I have so much weight to lose

    Hi Bluetit, Ask you gp to give you the readings. Mine were always within the range but at the lower end. Ask to go and see a consultant endocrinologist. They will look into it further. Look on the net for the thyroid forum. There's a lot of help there. Mine started growing down the back of...
