Thanks cinnamon-girl

I had no clue it was going to be THREE hours. That should be interesting. Maybe we can listen to it in pieces on i-player? I believe it starts at 9 a.m. maybe it has other people on it too giving their experiences.

hi..it's 1 HR 7 mins into the broadcast if you haven't already found it!

10.00 am is the time so tune in then.

I felt Lorraine did well to put her points across although there were obviously time constraints. Other non-thyroid speakers spoke for longer describing their quite different situations. What I really wanted to hear was the percentage of thyroid sufferers who do not do well on Thyroxine and have been failed by the NHS.

Thanks. I did tune in and we were lucky, I think, that Lorraine had the first go. I have now sent an email as well and we could all do so if we wished.

I think the second person who spoke about her 'thyroid' as well as her other conditions is one of our more 'famous' members.

Where did you send an e-mail to shaws?

Yes, I guessed who that member was and she did well!

Lorraine did really well for us all this morning, putting across points in a short and knowledgeable manner. Mary, also made a great contribution just to press the point home.

thank you for the link...Lorraine speaks about 1 HR 7 mins into the broadcast.
