I have just released a new blog post, which contains an offer to all doctors and endocrinologists working with thyroid patients. You can find it on my book page: facebook.com/recoveringwitht3.
If any approach me then I will discuss a lot of things. I have tried this before and had no response. I will keep trying. Eventually, some will listen ... I hope I'm not too old and senile by then to have a proper discussion!
I will update people IF I get a reply Ellarose. I don't charge for any comments I make, I don't do consults for money and I try to explain that all choices are up to patients and their doctors ... so I think I'm safe from the GMC. Hope so anyway!
So do I! It's time someone tried to stand up to these people. I wish you all the luck in the world and will watch with interest. Perhaps they have less power over someone who is not medically certified (good word for some of em!) they can't start throwing their weight about.
I haven't seen it Humphrey. I have my own FB forum now and spend most of my spare hours helping people there. It is growing really fast and is focused on my protocols. I post my blog links here for old time's sake when I used to spend more time here. I also respond to replies and to PMs here. But I don't tend to look around.
I'm not sure what the answer is but lobbying in one way or another has to be part of it. I also work with the ThyroidChange organisation who appear to be growing fast and are very good at connecting to media and key players in the thyroid world.
I'm open to ideas but my time is limited and I have to focus my energies in a narrow area or I would go under.
