The Daily Telegraph (Monday 27th June)

[Guest guest]

Here is a quote from Dr Le Fanu's column in today's Daily

Telegraph.

" …two medical conditions that may predispose to

sensitivity to cold, are anaemia and an underactive thyroid. Both can be

readily tested for but it is suggested that sometimes, thyroid function tests

can be misleadingly normal. A reader commends instead Early Morning Basal

Temperature Test, where a reading taken under the armpit on waking of less than

97.0 degrees F, is suggestive of an underactive thyroid. "

My Note: Yet the BTA and RCP poo poo this, as they do

everything else that is likely to show a patient is suffering with

hypothyroidism.
