I threw in a donation and am looking forward to getting the film. Long overdue in my opinion just wish it would be on free issue so I could make the entire GP community and the British Thyroid Assoc watch it!
Looks good shaws posted about it yesterday or day before
I would love to support this as it sounds so worthwhile, but I'm very wary of giving my card details online when I'm not sure about security. I hope they get what they need and would love to see the end product.
Kick starter are very safe and I have supported several projects including this one.
They need all the help they can get as it us helping all of us.
I always use paypal in that sort of situation - it puts a buffer between the seller and my money

if paypal was an option, I wouldn't hesitate. LB
Oh yes - I remember now - it wasn't an option with my comedian friend either! I gave her a credit card (on the assumption that there wasn't any of my actual money in there, in case it all went pear-shaped ...) and when they recently asked me for feedback on the experience I mentioned that lack of paypal was a real inconvenience.
How can we be sure that this is authentic? I am not very trusting these days having already had to change my credit card number this year because of on line fraudsters trying to use it.Thankfully security stopped them.
I would rather support Thyroid UK.

I am with you Marfit I too got caught on an online fraud.
I was sorry to hear that Margo.I hope you didn't lose out.
We were fortunately contacted regarding recent transactions so were able to confirm the ones that weren't authentic.

I got sorted in the end thank you Marfit, unpleasant experience, and hopefully I have learnt the lesson to be more careful.
They're going to get a donation from me too.I'd have thought one of levothroxine rivals like armour thyroid would stump up quite a bit of the dough though but bet they have gone through those channels already.Looking forward to seeing it.
You beat me to it faith63, was just about to post the same!! Did you notice her outer eyebrows were missing?
Worth a watch it is only 3 minutes
I see they have now got 3 x the money they were targetting! Excellent. Kickstarter works very well for relatively small projects. A friend of mine performed at Edinburgh Fringe for a week, funded the same way.
I pledged money to this ages ago. They only cash in the pledge if and when they reach their target. If they Don't reach it, your money stays in the bank. But I certainly hope they do make it, and the film gets made. It's long over-due!
Unable to get the film? I watched it on Facebook, is that the only way to view faith63, as I would like to pass it on and not everyone is on FB.
i don't have face book.
Hi faith, You can watch it here: (if link works) vimeo.com/109165579
Hi Annie 7 - I just watched this and she could have been reading my symptoms (and lots of us I'm sure). After over 20 years of being on thyroxine I still get so tired, temperature fluctuation, brain fog, aches and pains and palpitations. I did ask a year or so ago about NDT and was told it couldn't be prescribed. Look forward to the complete documentary and thank you for posting the link.
Hi Nanj51, happy to be of help. Thyroxine, doesn't work very well for me either. There is also a 2nd film clip,
vimeo.com/120399523 and a website: sick2death.com/
All the best, annie.
Yay! They've reached their target!
i don't do FB either. Does this mean that i can't watch it? Will it be on Cable TV or ?
