Q: Thyroid Disease

Hi,
I would like to know what the symptoms are of the above disease, specifically relating to the arms and neck.

I have rings around my neck and it is quite large, although I do I have a weight problem.

My arms are very unusual in shape. They are normal sixe from the elbow down, but from the shoulder to the elbow they are squeeze in as if they are held by an elastic band.

They are unusual in shape as they literally shaped like a leg of mutton.

Most women I have seen do not have arms like these even women who are the same weight as myself.

I am Diabetic, suffer from Depression, tired, and lethargic, although saying that I am quite obese.
