Hypothyroidism occurs when there is an inadequate secretion of thyroid hormones resulting in a slowing down of body's metabolism. So many people just don't know how far-reaching an underactive thyroid problem can be. Unfortunately, people do not know what symptoms an underactive thyroid can cause.

Many of symptoms associated with an underactive thyroid are fatigue, weight gain, decreased interest in daily activities, difficulty in maintaining concentration, sleep disturbances, cold extremities, and abdominal bloating.

Are Prescription Thyroid Medications Worth The Potential Risks?

Many physicians have prescribed thyroid medications, only to find out that they were associated with significant side effects. These drugs may cause chest pain, increased pulse rate, palpitations, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, or nervousness. It is recommended that people who have multiple health concerns use caution when taking any prescription medications. There is also possibility that once started on these prescriptions, body becomes dependent on them and they become a lifelong medication.

If they continue to be called handbags -- then they may well not catch on at all.

Call them something else and they more than likely will!

As speed of business and everyday life continues to grow, men too are going to need something small enough to carry various daily bits and pieces in, without subjecting their pockets to a barrage of seam bursting bits and pieces.

For majority of week, men are catered for quite adequately with briefcases or laptop bags. Many now cut straight to chase and pile everything into a backpack, caring less for appearance and more for practicality of being able to walk around easily.

But consider for a minute those trips where a business case isn't required. Maybe they aren't going out and about with their laptop or files of papers for day. Would they still need a laptop bag or messenger bag?

Unlikely!

So maybe advent of man carrying some form of male handbag isn't that far away.

Indeed, designer names such as Louis Vuitton, Dior and Tommy Hilfiger already market bags specifically for men. They obviously believe market is there and that it's worth tapping into sooner rather than later.

Nor are they just your standard duffle or messenger bags.

They are specific, cut down versions of these, more suitable for carrying wallet, car keys and mobile phone easily than lugging big and heavy items. Slip in a PDA or iPod and you're away.
