[QUAD-L] hypothyroid

[Jessica Ann Gordon]

hi all --

i just received a call from the doc after having some blood work done  
last week. apparently i have hypothyroidism -- or an underactive  
thyroid.   they told me my levels are abnormally low. there's a small  
chance it is a lab error but most likely not. i was just reading  
about hypothyroid online and found that i have many of the symptoms  
which i had always thought were due to my SCI. for example: fatigue,  
weakness, increased difficulty losing weight, hair loss, COLD  
INTOLERANCE, depression, irritability, memory loss, abnormal  
menstrual cycle, and decreased libido.

so my question is -- has anyone else been diagnosed w/  
hypothyroidism? and could it be related to SCI? i've been told in  
most cases it is easily treatable w/ medication so i hope i fall into  
that category. i'll find out more tomorrow morning when i go to the  
doctor.
