The Petition “Improve thyroid treatment for millions of people. Stop the withdrawal of T3” has now been signed by over 22,600 people. It’s great but we need as many signatures as we can posibly get. We graciously welcome an international support but only the signatures of UK Residents will count when the petition goes to the Parliament.

HU Thyroid UK community has over 62,079 Members. We need help from all of you. Even if you don’t use T3 yourself, you know how it feels to have untreated or poorly treated thyroid disorder.

Can You please sign the petition and share it with others. We all have family members, friends, bosses, co-workers or employees who may be sympathetic to our cause. Maybe your next door neighbour would want to help? What about your postman? ;) Perhaps members of your local community group would want to support the campaign? Maybe somebody from your church would want to help out?

Apart from us, people affected by thyroid disorders, and our relatives, friends etc. also individuals, groups, organisations and communities interested in the following areas may be willing to support the ITT campaign: chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, adrenal insufficiency, menopause and perimenupause, fibromyalgia, chronic widespread pain, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, mental health, insulin resistance, diabeties, weigh loss, weight gain, obesity, slimming (e.g. Weight Watchers, the Slimming World), metabolic disorders, endoctrine disorders, autoimmune disorders, exercise resistance, miscarriage, infertility, PMT/PMS, cardiovascular problems, hair loss, high cholesterol, anaemia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), feminist organisations, women’s rights, gender/sex inequality, gender discrimination, human rights, inequality in healthcare, holistic healing.

Do you know anyone interested in any of the above issues? Are you a member of any groups or communities focused on any of the above issues? Would they want to help?

UK has a population of 65,557,375 people. One person in five suffers thyroid disease. There are 13,102,600 potential supporters of the ITT campaign left out there ;) Please help them help up!!!

Hi Kitten1978 Thank you for that, we are already virtually up to 9,000 ! Over 450 signatures this morning thanks to the help of Stop the Thyroid Madness. They have given us a regular posting slot on their fantastic Facebook page. Today its our petition, so many encouraging comments already and the post only went up at 8am !

Sorry in the time it took to type that we've gone up by nearly 100 and past the 9,000 mark !

Kitten1978,

Signed. I've also pinned this post.

But... you wrote " One person in five suffers thyroid disease."

According to a recent post by Helvella, the recent figure for diagnosed hypothyroidism is around 3.6%. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

In which case, even taking into account the many potential untreated/undiagnosed, 20% of the UK population seems an exaggeration to me. Are you able to substantiate your figure?

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to RedApple

Thank you for your support;)

Different sources show different estimates. I definitely don't trust the estimates based on the official NHS TSH norms! They are toooooooo wide, they are a social construct and have very little justification in science (see the article by Mary Shomon on TSH norms) and many people show multiple hypo symptoms ....although, according to the norms they are meant to be "euthyroid". Bear in mind that UK population is becoming heavily overweight in comparison to other EU counties. Delayed diagnosis and poor treatment can be among the causes!

RedApple profile image
RedAppleAdministrator in reply to Kitten1978

I totally understand where you're coming from :) But really not sure that your perceived overestimation will help the cause with the powers that be.

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to RedApple

We will never know how many people with thyroid conditions are out there unless the standards of diagnosis and treatment improve dramatically...

moyramm in reply to Kitti1

Hi Kitti1 C.A.T.S. (Cumbria Advisory Thyroid Service ) did a small survey a few years ago. We did not get all the GP 's to respond so in some ways the survey was not a true picture of the real situation.However we found that in some area's of Cumbria as many as 4 out of 10 patients had Thyroid problems. When I asked a Doctor about this his reply was "well.there are a lot of old people in Cumbria "

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to moyramm

Thank you moyramm ;) If doctors had the knowledge, experience to recognise the symptoms and willingness to use them for diagnostic purposes, if the THS norms were lower and if the general public knew more about thyroid disorders and their symptoms ...the number would be much, much higher!

moyramm profile image
moyramm in reply to Kitten1978

I quite agree Kitten1978 . Doctor's need much more training on Thyroid issues. We did a big campaign to raise awareness in the community but there is still.lots more needs doing x Moyra

However, the begging letter for a donation which appears automatically after signing the petition is in my opinion a bit of a cheek.

I have selected the charities I support and don't appreciate being made to feel guilty when I do not select an amount to donate. The work the thyroid charities do to fight on my behalf is wonderful, which is why I buy Christmas cards and other bits and bobs to support them. However, I don't appreciate being pressured into donating, this approach has the opposite effect with me.

Kitti1 profile image
Kitti1 in reply to mauschen

mauschen the 'begging letter' is nothing what so ever to do with the ITT campaign, that is solely there to fund Change.org. It is them you / who ever is donating to and Not our cause. I'm afraid its not something I, as the person that started the petition, had any control over. Many thanks for signing.

mauschen profile image
mauschen in reply to Kitti1

I didn't say it was anything to do with you or anyone else Kitti1. I cleary stated the appeal for donations appeared automatically. My comments did not lay any blame, they were only intended to vent my annoyance at the pushy nature of the appeal for donations.

The ITT Campaign is gathering momentum and it's great that RedApple has pinned this post - heading towards 13k.

STTM has given Facebook space to the campaign also.

How do we get a mention of the ITT campaign petition on the thyroid.org front page?

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to

Thyroid.org is an American Thyroid Association webpage. It's good to have an international support but, for the petition to be considered, we need 10,000 UK votes (we have over 12,000 votes but some of them are from outside of the UK), and for the petition to be discussed in the Parliament we need a minimum of 100,000 of UK signatures.

International singatures are good IN ADDITION to UK signatures, I'm afraid.

Kitten1978, Your petition is doing well. I'm very sceptical about your assertion though:

We need 100K of UK signatures to make sure this petition is discussed in the Parliament.

Are you sure about this? I didn't think this was possible because it is a Change.org petition and not a Government E-Petition. Can you point me to some info that corroborates your statement please? Am more than happy to be proved wrong :)

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to RedApple

Hi RedApple ,

I'm also very, very happy to be proven wrong, especially on this one. However the rules regarding petitions for the UK Government are as follows:

How petitions work: (...)

5. At 10,000 signatures you get a response from the government.

6. At 100,000 signatures your petition will be considered for a debate in Parliament.

See: petition.parliament.uk/help

It doesn't matter whether it's gov.uk petiton or change.org petition.

There was a query from one of ITT members whether we change.org petition could be discussed in the parliament at all and another ITT member, with more knowedge about those issues than I have, replied that yes, change.org petition can be discussed. The only difference is that Kitti1 , who created the petition, will need to persuade her MP to take the petition to the Parliament.

We couldn't have used the gov.uk petition as gov.uk petitions are still closed (!) due to the recent general election. The previous gov.uk petition advertised on HU, which asked for more funding for the research on the treatment of thyroid disorders, was closed prematurely only because of the general elections. We certainly wouldn't want this to happen to this petition!

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to Kitten1978

This petition was closed due to general elections. It's a shame as it reached 12,114 signatures:

petition.parliament.uk/arch...

An earlier attempt regarding the same petition: petition.parliament.uk/arch...

RedApple profile image
RedAppleAdministrator in reply to Kitten1978

Many thanks for your explanation. It is so very frustrating that the government e-petion facility is still not available

The link you point to does of course only refer to the government e-petition. But ITT have obviously done the research to confirm without doubt that the change.org petition is still valid (with the right numbers!)

Kitten1978 profile image
Kitten1978 in reply to RedApple

I found it even more frustrating when I realised that the petition, which reached 12,114 signatures, was closed only because of the general election wrrrrrrrr... I'm glad Kitti1 didn't start this one on the gov.uk webpage.

This petition will be valid with the right numbers of UK signatures. We are delighted with an international support the ITT campaign is receiving but only UK-based signatures will count in the UK Parliament...so we need to keep going. There is a lot of work ahead of us and every single signature counts!

Thank you for your encouragement RedApple ;)

The petition is close to 18k signatures. The recent article in HSJ with information from the ITT campaign and Lyn Mynott will help us get the results we all want and know are needed, better thyroid treatment and a choice of medications.

If you're reading this thinking 'this doesn't affect me, I'm doing ok on levo and starting to feel well' and you don't sign, please think again.

2 months ago I felt fantastic, like my old self, on what I thought was my optimal dose of levo and I wrongly started to think I might be one of the lucky ones.

I now realise that for me levo alone will never be enough. So I'm going to try NDT - sometime soon I'll post a bit more. But for now I urge you to sign this petition, you really don't know if you'll need more than just levo.

Thank you Hidden ;)

Dr Hoenderkamp's story shows that a person may be o.k. on levo for years...until they are unable to tolerate T4-only treatment and may need T3 to survive: youtube.com/watch?v=QJqWKwI...

Kitten1978 I'd forgotten about Dr Renee's YouTube video. It's really informative, she is hypothyroid herself and she has been supporting campaigns to stop the withdrawal of T3.
