Thyroid Support

Archive for the ‘Thyroid News’ Category

Today I decided to resurrect Thyroid Support because I know many people who are fighting with their thyroid. And yesterday a lady dropped in to the office and we started talking about her daughter who has a thyroid problem. The doctor she visited appears to have no compassion to someone who is scared about the treatment that she needs. In fact his attitude really astounded me because he was supposed to be a specialist.

I see a fantastic specialist who has helped me for several years now and listens to me and understands that not every person who has a thyroid problem will be a text book case. For many doctors and specialists if you have a level that ‘should be normal’ for different sufferers it might not be in their range at all. In fact their range could be totally off the show that those results are read wrong. But don’t try and tell that to a doctor who believes who really believes he is helping you.

When I opened up my email just before I began writing this I found my first thyroid newsletter email from about.com. And I found an item where NBC’s Today Show Tackles Thyroid Awareness and Controversies over TSH Testing.

It’s incredible that there are many people out there like me. They have experienced ‘the fog’ and the depression and being told that all the problems that are experienced is because of obesity, menopausal and being female. I was surprised that there are still doctors and specialists out there that don’t realise that every person is different. We are not all text book cases and they don’t want to admit that they have misdiagnosed someone with a thyroid problem.
