Euthyroid means normal thyroid.

Nothing. Thyroid levels are reported in terms of TSH, free T4 and total T4 level values.
Normo- is the prefix to mean normal, as in normotensive. Sometimes the combining form eu- is used, as in euthyroid.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism:- * Tiredness * Fatigue * Cold intolerance * Constipation * Decreased appetite * Dry skin and hair * Confusion Basically a slowing down of the entire body, most systems are affected. Multinodular goitre: Can be present in hyperthyroidism, which is the complete opposite of the symptoms above, in toxic multinodular goitre. Treatment for a euthyroid (normal tests) multinodular thyroid is recommended to be surgery if required, as giving thyroid hormones (T4) is shown not to be beneficial.
