Action for change in patient treatment

[artfemme]

International activism for a change in treatment protocols for thyroid patients is heating up. The ThyroidChange.org petition has gathered thousands of signatures in just a couple of months. If you are interested in this sort of thing, here is a link to a website in UK that is soliciting international patient stories of their personal experience with T3 combined therapy v. T4 only.

I'm so glad you're interested ! Sorry for the delay, I had to wait for the Thyroid Change people to get back to me with a different link. As I suspected, Facebook intruded and inserted something in the link to tie it to the FB page, which you might like, by the way. Because this is all so new and taking off like crazy, Denise Rodriguez said that she hadn't finished linking it to their website yet.

Anyway, here is a link that should work for everyone. I am trying to get my local NPR station, which has a health oriented show as part of their format, to perhaps do a segment on these thyroid issues.

Once again...can't get your link to work and when I go to thyroidchange.org and search for the press release, I don't get anything.

Me too, glad to participate. There are far too many of us with too similar (horror) stories. Time for a change.

For anyone curious about ThyroidChange.org, here is the press release that went out today. I will be sharing it with my local press, and anyone else is free to do so as well.
