Page 21 January 2012 Thyroid Continued from page 10 If you’re having trouble losing weight after being on a good diet coupled with exercise for at least two months, it may be time to talk to your physician. The doctor will begin by feeling for the two-inch long, butter fl y-shaped gland in your neck, above the collar bone for swelling and lumps. A blood test can check your levels of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), as well as review your symptoms. Other tests may be ordered. An underactive thyroid is not reversible, but with the right medication and monitoring of symptoms, the prognosis is excellent. Jackie Doris, M.D., practices at Arcadia Family Clinic, 4131 N. 24th St., Suite B-102, Phoenix. She can be reached at 602-955-6632 or JCL.com/practices.
