January is Thyroid Awareness Month

[hachiko]

I bet everyone knew this already.. but anyways: happy Thyroid awareness month and wishing everyone a good new year!

I didn't know, thanks

Yes, it would be wonderful if we were all diagnosed and given thyroid hormones which make us well, at an optimum level and not just according to the TSH.

June in Australia!

Has been October in the UK.

Makes sense - thyroid disease lasts all year so it should always be thyroid awareness week somewhere!

Has someone made our GPs aware?

It's not Thyroid Awareness Week in the UK. That's usually in October. Here's a link to the 2016 TAW Press Release.
