Well done Alan ....you are a true supporter.

I will ALWAYS support all those that have and do support me & mine ...... and this site has a place that cannot be taken away EVER .....alan xx...... p.s. if only some others had the same sense of gratitude ??????

I agree....it sometimes feels like a hard push doesn't it but well worth it.

Thankfully,the spirit is willing......even if the body doesn't always respond so well.

Was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my Knee joint yesterday by a Physio who clearly did not make any crossover between muscular problems and thyroid issues. I could obviously see a bit of wear and tear on my X-Ray but couldn't help wondering how much joint problems can also be due to non diagnosis and then under dosing of thyroid problems over many years?

Anyway,hope you keep as well as you can...take care.

its not that hard a push ..... I have my own health problems [ not thyroid related ] for some years now , and my attitude is and always will be '''' there are some people out there that need lifting on & off the loo to have a wee --- I aint that bad YET '''''' so what have I got to worry about ...... apart from trying to send some of that bloody good karma out where its needed , it will return in this life or another .....that be the ethos of stingray !!!!!!......I hope you & yours are keeping as well as can be .......alan xx
