Please consider signing this petition for better funding and understanding of thyroid conditions. 🙏

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

Interesting post - Might you be better posting on Thyroid UK ?

I am kindly requesting signatures to be added to the poll for better funding into research and understanding of the condition.

Hi Jillymo,

Hashimoto’s disease and Pernicious Anaemia go hand in hand. Signed and Thank you.

Hope you are doing ok.

[Jillymo in reply to Narwhal10]

I am aware of the connection hence why I posted the poll on here.

I have also posted on the Hughes, Lupus and Syogrens sites as many in those category suffer with thyroid issues.

The link is now working

Thanks, yes I am okish.

Exactly, if you have one then you usually have another. Then you can collect them as you get older.

Hang in there and keep cracking jokes or we crack up.

😘

[Jillymo in reply to Narwhal10]

I have done plenty of collecting over the years infact more than my fair share. All I aim for now is better recognition and care from our dwindling health service for myself and other's.

i am not looking for any advice - but, the article may be worth you going to read the British Thyroid Foundation as they have an article that refers to the pros and cons for teenagers and young adults.

[Jillymo in reply to mary70]

I read the article but although interesting it isn't relevant to the poll I posted.

I appreciate all ages suffer with thyroid issues but thyroid uk are requesting for better management of the condition - which will hopefully benifit all age groups.

[FlipperTD]

Done it! Passed it on to others too. Keep on doing what you're doing.

I have signed from the B12 site as I have both. I hear they are struggling to get to the 10,000 mark and it is so worthwhile. I think they were on 8000 something when I signed. I will get members of my family to sign as they have different email addresses to mine, it should be ok.

[Jillymo]

With all the people on site I am rather surprised they are struggling to meet the target. I have both and more beside. 😶

Thank you for signing
