Thyroid question?
I went to my family doctor and after taking blood work he said that my thyroid gland isn't taking producing enough of a hormone whatever that hormone is called that is released from there.Could this be why I feel I have stoped growing? keep in mind im 18 now and feel I haven't gone through a growth spurt! could this be a possible reason?

- Be sure to start eating wel and have enough iodine in you body. Many people are low in iodine. Check your iodine levels or start taking extra kelp at least 3 capsules a day. Ask your octor to recheck you in 6-8 weeks and see if your levels are improved. Avoid stress and ...Do not forget to take it easy and spoil yourself. For more info see source.
- an underactive thyroid will cause ur bodies functions to slow down but as for u not growing anymore, its possible I guess but if ur a guy u should still grow til ur in ur mid 20s or something I think. I wouldnt worry too much about it. u can take medication to help ur thyroid function the way its supposed to.
- maybe, but thyroids work weirdly!!! is that really a word?
oh well, I had the same problem, but my thyroid caused me to gain a ton of weight because it was not functioning properly, the doctor can prescribe a drug that will give it a little boost....
