MPs and Lords who are/have family members with thyroid disease

[Wired123]

Does anyone know of any senior politicians who have or have a close family member with thyroid disease (under or over active/hypo or hyper).

Keen to get a list together so we can target these people to join our cause.

Any info would be helpful and also if you have any links to documents substantiating their condition.

A good idea and hope you get the answers.

Michael Gove's wife. Sara Vine.

For all the good it does.

Let’s hope, we can only try

She gets NDT on a private script too. While our government let people suffer, I can’t take levo because of the bad side effects, so not had no meds for 16 months

This is interesting, from 2005 however. Things are still dire!

Excellent document Helvella. Can I suggest next revision has a column for the country these people reside in.

I’m hoping we can push on with a concerted campaign and engage all of these celebs at some stage to Tweet and talk about their struggles with this disease.

What a good question Dk123! I don't know of any in the UK, we have Hillary Clinton in the US (on Armour) but that doesn't help.
