Lovely quote.

I'm curious though. Where do people think we are in the fight to get the medical profession to take thyroid problems seriously and treat us effectively?

I would still put us at stage 1 or 2 - Ignored or laughed at.

[HarryE in reply to humanbean]

I think 2, pushing towards 3 in places.

[Hidden in reply to humanbean]

Stage 1 - ignored: 'of course you're fine - it's all in your head', 'what do you expect - it's your age', 'don't eat so much', 'just go on a diet, then, if you don't like your weight'. Grrr.
