Yeah, I have Hypothyroidism and it does cause a whole host of things… It did cause carpal tunnel in both of my arms, hair loss, dry skin, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans, you name it… and now I have Diabetes. All of these are endocrine illnesses related to each other, in some way, or another. I read a book a long time ago, on how the thyroid affects women, and thyroid illnesses in women. It was very, very thorough and helpful. I believe it was this one: http://www.amazon.com/Thyroid-Sourcebook-Women-Sourcebooks/dp/0071441611/ref=dp_ob_title_bk, but I can’t remember for sure… I read a LOT of thyroid books when I was diagnosed.
