I didn’t know they also covered other issues like thyroid problems. I guess I should surf their pages more. I have fibromyalgia. I’m going to recommend the group to my friend who had her thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer.

I have an under active thyroid and it almost ruined my life. And I had terrible doctors that wouldn’t help me. It is so wonderful that you posted this!
.-= SonyaAnn´s last blog ..Uncle Sammy! =-.
I have Graves Disease which affects the thyroid – making me hyperthyroid, as well as having vision problems, etc Marty Feldman’s “bulging eyes” were due to Graves Disease – his death at a fairly young age was also probably due at least in part to Graves and the strain on his heart it can cause. No laughing matter.
Thank you for this post – awareness is the first step!
