Rod posted an interesting paper earlier dealing with the chemistry behind fluid retention.
This is an article from a holistic health mag that also talks about fluid retention and other
clinical presentations of low thyroid. It also has some interesting pictures to illustrate the physical symptoms. PR
Another very good paper. Despite umpteen visits to medical professionals before being diagnosed, the only two doctors who looked at my tongue were Dr P and D. S. Before diagnosis I wondered why it was becoming difficult to speak - my tongue was so awkward. I have since read of quite a few with enlarged tongues, some seriously so.
That's my tongue! 2nd year on Levo, and it's still exactly the same :-(((
That ought to be required reading for all doctors! How can they even call themselves doctors if they know nothing about hormones??? It's a mystery to me...

Why has none of the Docs at my practice ever looked for any of these? I have just looked at my tongue and it just looks like the picture - never noticed before! My middle toe nail, on both feet, grows and literally falls off! I have mentioned this to each Doc and they aren't concerned, or rather, couldn't care less!
It's a mystery to me too Grey.
