Well, I have to say I am very happy and excited about the support I have received for my one and only post and felt I needed to keep up momentum while it's still a hot topic!
It sounds as though there are more people than I realised out there with thyroid problems. There are also those currently being 'investigated' and there will be some who suspect there is something wrong but for whatever reason have not managed to deal with it yet. So this one is for you guys....
Thyroid disorders can cause a host of what I would describe as elusive problems, from weight gain to brain fog to dry skin to name only a few. If you have suffered from any of these problems you will understand how frustrating they can be. However, perhaps even more frustrating, is the fact that these symptoms seem to present themselves so slowly that you are compensating for them so minutely each day until you eventually reach a stage where you have to ask yourself *why am I so depressed/overweight/fatigued and not enjoying life as much as I used to?* At what point do you say to yourself - enough is enough and get your doctor/healthcare provider to check you out? A lot of us put these vague symptoms down to age, lifestyle and deterioration of the body without being aware that a little known (and perhaps even less cared for) system such as the Endocrine system may be the cause.
So today my message has got to be this - please do not feel that these things are beyond your control, do not let things overwhelm you. You are the master of your own health, start your own thyroid therapy today!
