Rick you might want to ask your doctor if they have ever checked your thyroid function. I am type II diabetic due to having been obese. I have taken care of the obesity by losing 119 pounds. Due to the diabetes I see my family doctor once a quarter to make sure that everything is functioning as it should. During a visit a few years ago my MD asked me why we had run a thyroid check on me. I replied that all I did was sit down and let the young lady draw blood. He asked me if I had been having any of the symptoms of low thyroid production and asked if I had been Cold or tired all the time. I replied that lately I thought that I was going to freeze to death and that all I wanted to do was sit in my easy chair. Put me on Synthroid and cured both problems. Now with the weight loss my wife says that I must be related to the Energizer Bunny as I am constantly doing something. I haven't felt this great in many years.

A buddy of mine at work found out he has a thyroid problem also and is on some medication to cure it. Currently he feels a whole lot better but they are still tweaking the dosages he said but he said it took them quite a while to check his thyroid.
