Hypothyroidism

Living with Hypothyroidism

There are millions of people living with hypothyroidism because they have been undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. For some patients, they have been diagnosed but given the wrong medicine which leaves them with hypothyroid symptoms but they think they are properly treated.

More than 12 percent of the U.S. population will develop a thyroid condition during their lifetime. An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease. Up to 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. ¹ Many patients report being hypothyroid but have been undiagnosed due to incorrect lab results. These patients were told their lab work was “normal” and “fine,” yet continue to suffer from a myriad of thyroid symptoms.
