Are you more likely to develop severe covid if you have hypothyroidism. I've always assumed not because I've never been told it's something that makes you worse off with it. Can anyone advise? Thankyou.

I don't think anyone can advise. There is so much unknown with Covid. My personal thinking is that if you are optimally medicated you are at no more risk than anyone else. But even if you're not optimally medicated, it may not make any difference.

Not what you're looking for?
