helvella’s A brief thyroid glossary

[helvella]

Every so often, I am inspired to create a new thyroid document.

My existing Abbreviations and Acronyms is, I hope, quite useful but it suffers from two things. First, the abbreviations and acronyms are not actually explained at all. Second, it has grown - a lot - over the years and is no longer something you can print on a single sheet of paper!

The new document is intended to explain some of the core thyroid terms and, for as long as I am able, to fit onto a single sheet of paper (albeit double-sided).

This is the document:

My Abbreviations and Acronyms document is still available here:

Wonderful. Thank you.

Thank you for collecting all of this data in a useful form and sharing it. The value of this information cannot be measured except in the lives that are redeemed when people use it to understand their conditions and become their own best advocates.

Raising a toast to you, helvella! 🍻

No, that isn't a private message, you have posted on the open forum. I have removed the details which shouldn't be posted here.

You are welcome to do so.

Just make sure people are aware that it is not in any way official.

Absolutely

Many thanks. Much appreciated- and I made use of your sheet last year describing Tiromel, very helpful as I was going to Turkey. 💕

[AnneEvo]

Thank you.

Bravo! Thanks, Hell.

Thankyou so much, for being so generous with your time and knowledge. I just can’t get my head around all the info about thyroid but lists like yours really help as something to refer to. Have a good day, Holly

Thank you! I just spotted this is the feed!

If there is one thing I do know, that is how little I know. I'd never want to be an endocrinologist because of the gap between what is known and the realities for real people.

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK]

Seems entirely likely.

You are short by an amount which is the whole dose for some people. It would be very unlikely NOT to have a significant impact. (The exception might be resistance to thyroid hormone where you'd probably need a huge dose and 20 micrograms would be a small percentage.)

Many thanks Helvella.

Awesome lists.
