Though roughly 20 million Americans suffer from some sort of thyroid disease, 60% of them have no idea. The symptoms of hypothyroidism in particular (e.g. weight gain, fatigue) can be easily misdiagnosed — and even blood tests are pretty ineffective. And like all autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism disproportionately affects women. “I struggle with my weight, even in times when I eat a healthy diet and work out daily,” Melanie Smith, 42, told Revelist. But as I have gotten older, the exhaustion [is a concern]." “I don’t mean a little tired — I am talking periods of time when walking up the stairs is more energy than I have.” In addition to their daily hurdles with fatigue and other symptoms, women with hypothyroidism are more likely to miscarry and have children with developmental issues. Above all, women with hypothyroid are warriors.
