I didn't know that either, Briony, as I feel the cold more too - in the pub on Friday, I was sitting there in my jacket whilst everyone else was in t-shirts. Really cold this afternoon too (in a jumper & sweat jacket) - my hands were like ice. My mum has an underactive thyroid & is on Thyroxine. My sister, who is ten years younger than me, was 'borderline' underactive last year. Both my mum & sister struggle with their weight & my mum said her diagnosis came after she couldn't lose weight & felt the cold. Every test I have had, has come back as 'normal' (last one was done Nov 2014 along with hormones which were 'normal' - I think not!). Getting it done again along with the hormones when my period starts. Have had heavier hair loss over the last year-and-a-half (no bald patches - just heavier loss all over). Also have overwhelming tiredness of late - everything seems to be more of an effort! X
