Just wanted to start a separate post to say a HUGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE thank you to everyone here who has responded to my questions and blog posts.
I am learning so much, so fast from all of you guys. This place is beyond amazing and I don't know what I would have done without all of your amazing advice and guidance.
I'll second that rosetrees! 
I agree wholeheartedly. Haven't posted much but have read everything. I now have the knowledge and courage to stand up to the GP's in my practice who know less than we do!!
I totally agree with you. I found this site a year ago and I have learnt so a huge amount and feel much more in control of my life - thanks everyone. Jax
Yes I agree. This site has made so many people fit and well again. "Tick Box" doctors beware! They have to know their stuff...we do, and have the backup to stand up to them.
Carry on the good work.
Hear Hear brilliant site, full of knowledge and understanding. I too wish to thank everyone for their input, this site has really helped me understand my condition more and consequently given me the courage to suggest various blood tests etc to my Dr, who has been happy to go along with, as she admits, I seem to know more about the intricacies of thyroid disease than she does Thank you everyone Wendy x
