Could be: Either way, you need to get your thyroid deficiency treated. It is a simple pill that you take daily. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
