I have also heard that if you put a pencil under your butt cheek and it stays, then your butt is too big

I don't need to test with a pencil to check on the size of my butt. I know it's large.

If you question the thyroid problem, have them run the full thyroid scan...not just the tsh. I first two times they ran the tsh I was in the normal range, when they ran the full thyroid panel I had a full blown goiter. They were very concerned that I would have a thryoid storm. At 35 I had a throyoidectomy. My neighbor thought since I was so young using the radioactive iodine might have some problems for me later since I have a family history of cancer. Turns out he was right. Last September I had my second bout of breast cancer.. This time it was invasive....I had both chemo and radiation. I just take my thyroid pills every day....

Tonight when I'm plucking I'll have to remember that it's actually a GOOD thing I'm hairy.... lol!

It must be true.
I have hypothyrodism and
do not have hair beyond pencil.

A natural food store person told a friend of mine
she had thyroid problem before she was tested
because of a crease that goes all the way across
the neck.

That must be true also - have that too.
But my Doc said she had never heard of it.

No one suspected that I had hyperthyroid when I became thyrotoxic because I am fat. Perhaps I should have known of Dr Oz's method and saved years of ill health and anxiety. The pencil test would have been accurate enough.

Ditto. Bad case of gravity, my "girls" looks at the floor.

My back "40", LOL, I've lost so many pencils. This is too funny.
