My baba (father's mother) probably had undiagnosed thyroid issues..she was a rather large woman. My father had issues later in his life, and my cousin Melissa also has thyroid issues. (first cousin on father's side). I tend to take after this bunch, so it makes sense that I also have thyroid issues.
My mother's side also has thyroid issues, also never diagnosed until rather later in their lives.
Explains a lot of the large ppl on my dad's side, and a lot of the alcoholism in a way. Thyroid leads to depression issues, the depression could have been self medicated by the alcoholic members of the family. I can see that, actually.
I'm always on my daughter to have her thyroid tested often.
