You can tell by having your internist check your tsh levels. He/she would do a simple blood test to determine this. If your levels were off, you would need to see a endronicoloigist(sp??).

i have underactice and i was always tired and i couldnt loose weight i was started on .75 nd recently upped to 1 and i am fine. i know people get upset about it but underactive means your body is not producing enough of a certain chemical and this medicine is just adding teh chmical to your body so its not harmful b/c its something natual found in your body anyway.

I have an underactive thyroid. I started taking armour thyroid, but for some reason it made me feel sick. I don't know what I'm going to do.
