It appears characterized by low body temperature associated with an impaired conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3) despite normal thyroid function tests. The clinical features include fatigue, headaches, hair loss, irritability, fluid retention, depression, low sexual drive, and a long list of other nonspecific symptoms. The American Thyroid Association disavows Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome in 2005 based on a thorough review of the biomedical literature that found no scientific evidence supporting the existence of this medical condition.
