Recognise the pattern
Fatigue, temperature sensitivity, weight change, hair and skin changes and mood shifts rarely mean much alone. Together they are worth a test.
Tired, cold, and told everything is normal.

This is the questionnaire domain of ONU’s own model, not a diagnosis. Thyroid conditions are confirmed with blood tests, not with questions.
What you walk away with
Three things, in about five minutes.
Know the test by name
Understand what TSH measures, and when free T4 and antibodies add something, so you can ask precisely.
A record of what you have noticed
Symptom patterns are easy to forget in a ten-minute appointment. Take a written one instead.
What it looks at
Nothing hidden behind the result.

How it works
Three steps. No sign-up to begin.
- 01
Write down what changed and when
Timing matters more than severity for a pattern that developed slowly.
- 02
Ask for the right test
A clinician decides which thyroid tests are appropriate. Knowing the names makes the conversation faster.
- 03
Keep the result with its range
Thyroid reference ranges vary between laboratories. The range belongs with the number.
What this is not.
- ONU does not publish a score for this area. The supplied model has unresolved gaps, and a number with no settled meaning would be worse than none.
- The supplied thyroid model groups 28 items into domains whose intermediate bands are not fully specified.
- Thyroid symptoms overlap with many other conditions. Only a test distinguishes them.
- If you have symptoms that worry you, contact a healthcare professional rather than waiting for an app.
Walk in prepared.
Take the list above to an appointment, and keep the everyday signals in view in the ONU app between visits.
