Hi

Been a while since I last wrote--I have a question that I hope you can
answer.
It's my father.  He's currently in his mid-seventies, and has been plagued
with severe migraines, skin eruptions, aching joints, asthma, allergies, bad
back, excess unmovable weight, gout and an erratic temper all of his life.
Lately he can barely move because of joint pain, so they give him medication
for that and it exacerbates the migraines.
My question:  My twin, Lisa, and I are both hypothyroid (mine's
Hashimoto's).  Could HE be thyroid as well?  He can be ornery as anything,
but I love him and don't want to see him in pain if it can be prevented.
Oh, so far as I know he has never been tested for possible thyroid
dysfunction.

Thanks
Laurie
