Thyroidism
Dear Doctor,
My age is 22+.
I am a thyroid patient. I am taking thyronorm of 75 MCG for last 4 years. I have consulted some doctors they told me about the side effects of thyronorm, like it causes our reflexes weak, dry hair etc.
Now, I have a question that, is thyronorm affects our memory?
I am a CA student and I am very much concerned about my studies.
Please help me out in this matter.

It is not thyronorm which causes weak reflexes and dry hair but hypothyroidism ( low thyroid hormone levels in body) which causes it. It also causes increased sleepiness which may affect your studies. Thyronorm is the medicine which will bring the thyroid hormone level in your body to normal.
