So often THYROID tests do not show up the full clinical picture

[MaryF]

Hi, I know I bang on about Thyroid issues, but they are prevalent with Hughes Syndrome/APS. Here is an article from the Daily Mail, relevant to us as readers on this particular forum, also below the article I add a petition being run by Thyroid UK, who have Dr Chris Steele as their patron.

Better tests are needed, clinical symptoms need to be taken into account with history taking, also a choice of treatments, some patients do not do so well on the synthetic versions and get some level of health back by using the natural desiccated preparations.

Please sign and pass on if you can, it would help.

People will feel very very unwell with a host of symptoms with untreated Thyroid problems, mine crept up on me, it is quite insidious Hypo Thyroidism in my case. MaryF
