What Causes Delay In Diagnosing Hypothyroidism?

Why is it so continually hard for a person to get a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, why do we have to be suffering for months, years, even decades - we can go to the moon but the we can t get diagnosed? Our lives drag on, we watch regular life move on around us - children grow up, move out, start families, while we hover in the shadows with no energy to create, to socialize, to participate - left on the sidelines. When will it be our turn to participate.... to be in the wholeness of life...... hopefully,.... it will come before our years run out,... but when?
