What Not to Say to Thyroid Patients
The what not to say to thyroid patients is sooo true fortunately i have never had any of them said to me.
I did however have a doc tell me to eat fever deserts and cakes a few months before i got diagnosed i was so shocked i did not say anything in reply. I never went to that gp again and they have never mentioned my weight again after diagnosis.
My surgeon, who was otherwise very good, actually told me I had the good cancer and a daily pill would replace my thyroid. He also doubted numerous symptoms I had were thyroid related. Subsequently I discovered that they were typical of spiralling Hashi's.
Infomaniac, I think they're more useful for newly diagnosed people but can be useful if someone really want chapter and verse on what the effects can be.
