This disease is caused by an under active thyroid. Progression of this disease untreated usually results in the development of Grave's disease, a much more serious and degenerative disease. Typical symptoms are chronic fatigue, rapid weight gain and possibly even bulging eyes. Typical treatment is a prescription for Synthroid (Synthetic steriods) and/or invasive removal of the thyroids.
