Please sign and pass this petition on if you are in the UK, Thyroid UK do a great job of supporting patients and have started a call to action on this subject: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/pe...

Hi Mary, I can not sign but I would like to ask you if you think that my Hyperparatyreodosis (I was operated in 2006) could have something to do with my APS? I have not found any connection myself. Thank you Mary

Why do APS sufferers develop thyroid problems?

[MaryF Administrator in reply to DannyBoy1]

Well, if you have one autoimmune disease it is not unusual to have another come along, a Thyroid problem was the final piece of the jigsaw for me with my five things! MaryF
