Almost everyone knows somebody with thyroid problems and many times despite medication they still have significant symptoms.Hypothyroidism ( low thyroid function) falls into one of six patterns and several patterns may exist at the same time. Just having an awareness of these different patterns helps one to realize that thyroid medication is only a small part of the answer if in fact it is needed at all. This information can be very helpful for the person who has lab work and is told their thyroid is fine even though they have all of the classic thyroid symptoms.
