Hello all,

I am posting this on behalf of J972

You’ll normally find her lurking on the Thyroid UK forum.

I hope you don’t mind me popping over to ask whether you’d mind adding your name to this important petition? We’re trying to reach the 10,000 signature mark to trigger a debate in parliament.

I have hypothyroidism as does my teenage daughter. We’re hoping that this petition will be the catalyst for a shift in the way thyroid conditions are diagnosed and treated, giving hope to both current and future generations of sufferers.

Thank you so much, J972 🙏

Please help her to reach her target, thank you........ Jillymo

I would love to help but am in the US and I don’t think it would count.

I have read your comments many times on having thyroid tested why is it so hard to get it diagnosed and treated mine is said to be borderline but I have so so many symptoms of a low thyroid so GP is re-testing in less than 6 months I know you’ve mentioned they don’t test fully and you pay for your tests which bit is it they don’t do as standard in UK Mary thanks in advance

Usually only the TSH. This is quite inaccurate in some people. MaryF
