Yes, he`s up and going, sharp.
His hypo thyroid (iodine related) symptoms;
"ndless Disease Conditions
Most people (correctly) regard the thyroid as responsible for proper metabolism. However, this gland plays a major role in hundreds of bodily functions. Here is just a sample of the many symptoms and conditions that can be caused, indirectly or directly, by an under-functioning thyroid gland:
Appetite disruption (heightened or diminished)
Autoimmune conditions, including allergies, lupus, and
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Blood
Sugar disorders, such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, or a combination of the two
Cancers, all kinds
Cardiovascular abnormalities, including high cholesterol, poor circulation, heart palpitations, hypertension (high blood pressure), and hypotension (low blood pressure)
Dental problems, including chronic gum infections, receding gums, and TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint dysfunction (clenching of the teeth, leading to chronic inflammation and pain in the temporomandibular joint)
Fatigue and lethargy
Gastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, and impaired digestion leading to constipation and nutritional disorders
Heart conditions, including coronary artery disease from accelerated atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), abnormal blood pressure (either too high or too low), diminished cardiac output, weakness of the heart muscle, and congestive heart failure
Hoarseness of voice, difficulty in swallowing, swollen enlarged tongue, and sleep apnea
Immune response malfunction, leading to increased infections (including Candida albicans) in all parts of the body
Mental and emotional problems, including difficulty in cognition, and anxiety, depression, memory loss, manic depression, psychosis, and schizophrenia
Metabolism malfunctions, leading to weight gain (usually) or weight loss (occasionally)
Muscular disturbances, including ataxia (lack of coordination), carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and weakness
Neurological impairment, including but not limited to ear conditions (deafness, tinnitus, and vertigo), headaches and migraines, Multiple Sclerosis, and paresthesia (numbness and “pins and needles” in nerves)
Pain in joints and muscles, including
Arthritis and fibromyalgia
Perspiration reduction
Reproductive disorders, including birth defects, cysts in breasts and ovaries, endometriosis, infertility, and menstrual disturbances
Respiratory conditions, including asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, and chronic sinus infections
Skin disorders, including acne, alopecia (hair loss), boils, dryness, eczema, hives, and psoriasis
Sleepiness and sleep apnea.
Slowed movement and speech
Structural weaknesses/deformities and impaired ability to repair damaged tissues, manifesting in brittle nails, brittle or scant hair (including baldness), degenerating bones (osteoporosis), malformed bones (scoliosis), and thinning and loss of eyebrows, notably the outer third
Temperature regulation malfunction: intolerance to heat, and excessive coldness, particularly in extremities.
Urinary tract problems, such as urinary infections and especially kidney failure from shrunken, scarred kidneys.
