Hello,
 
On the Menopaus mailing list (of which I'm the owner and a member)
thyroid problems are frequently a topic of discussion.  It seems that a
lot of women are diagnosed with hypothyroidism when they reach menopause
age, or enter into peri-menopause.
 
Is there a known reason why this would be so?  Is there something to do
with the hormonal changes that might trigger a thyroid disease?  Or is
it more likely that the thyroid condition has been there all along, but
with mild symptoms, and only now discovered because there are so many
other symptoms (caused by peri-meno or meno) being investigated?
