Q: have brittle hair with hair loss, cold all the time, weak nails and a swelling in the neck. family history of thyroid problems. had thyroid stimulating hormone test several times and never tested higher than 1.10. should i be worried?

: Yes and find out the cause. Does not appear to be low thyroid but need other test results. Can have low thyroid due to pituitary not making enough TSH. Discuss.
