A member asked:
Has thyroid cancer 20 years ago, had one lobe removed and am on synthroid (thyroxine). now am obese and have psoriasis is there a connection?

Probably not.: If you weren't on enough synthroid, (thyroxine) it would make you more likely to gain weight. But your doctor has probably been monitoring your level through a simple blood test, so it would be unlikely to be the cause. I know of no connection with your described situation and psoriasis.
