I co-lead ITT Improve Thyroid Treatment group - currently still only on Facebook, but website pending. We work alongside Thyroid UK, The Thyroid Trust and Thyroid Support Group Norfolk which I also co-lead.

ITT is doing various things for ITAW24, and sharing a lot of information to help members. One thing we've shared is "Analogies on normal reference ranges for thyroid results". I put these together with kind permission last year from  tattybogle .. thank you!

Not sure how clear this picture of it is, but I can't add a PDF on here. More on ITT's FB group if you'd like to see more!

Edit: picture added again in a comment, as that should be clearer. Thanks to RedApple and helvella for that suggestion.

Thank you for sharing this Tara and for everything you and ITT are doing. The shoe analogy is a good one.

I saw this shared on Twitter and copied it. Some really good analogies. I have already forwarded it to some friends who are on thyroid meds. Thank you TaraJR and tattybogle for sharing.

TaraJR, Images in main posts are automatically downsized, making text less readable. But if you also add the original image as a reply to your post, people will be able to open a larger version if they want to.

I'm adding the image again here, as it should be clearer.

Mostly text. One small picture of someone wearing over-sized shoes.
