About Me

This is a collaborative venture between the organisation Thyroid UK, www.thyroiduk.org and the web site and forum www.thyroid-disease.org.uk Both are actively campaigning for the better diagnosis and treatment of all types of thyroid disease in the UK, which differs from other parts of the world and leaves many people in ill health and misdiagnosed with other conditions instead.The range of the TSH test was reduced in March 2003 by the US but the equivalent organisation in the UK wants to actually raise the level causing more people to be left untreated. Thyroid UK are currently raising funds for a study into other forms of diagnosis such as saliva and urine testing, which many now believe to be more accurate as they show the amount of hormone used by the cells rather than what is in the blood, which can often give a false indication of the state of the patient's health.Untreated thyroid disease whether hyper or hypo can cause problems with fertility, mental function, heart and other organs, hair loss, weight gain or loss and many other symptoms. Sufferers may find themselves instead diagnosed with other conditions such as depression including post natal, ME, fibromyalgia, obesity and dementia instead You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
