If you could become a member of TUK, if not one already, it will help enormously to try to change the medical attitude with regard to dysfunctions of the thyroid gland.
This is a page from TUK in which you will see the how much they do behind the scenes, to try to enable us to have better diagnosis and treatments that suit us - the patients.
The more members we have the stronger we become as we do need to educate the 'professionals' who are mainly lacking in commonsense and by believing one 'rule' helps everyone. No flexibility at all.
