A member asked:

Is there a connection with the thyroid and my poor circulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Circulation: When the thyroid is underactive there typically are problems with circulation. These are often reversible with treatment of the thyroid. Overactive thyroid has other things it can do if not treated that affect circulation. Whether your thyroid is a problem you need to check with your doctor.
