Gaining weight? Feeling fatigued? Down in the dumps? These can all be symptoms of thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is more common than you may believe. Depending on the diagnostic criteria used, hypothyroidism could be affecting anywhere between 5% and 10% of the population. Many people may have this disease and not even realize it. According to a study known as the Colorado Thyroid Disease Prevalence Study, there may be as many as 13 million Americans with an undiagnosed thyroid condition.
