Thyroid Awareness month coming FAST - January

I know we discuss many - many things here on not finding real good thyroid answers. We read here so often that patients move from doctor to doctor looking for better treatment. Here is a way you can finally give the month of Januray the title is deserves as Thyroid AWARENESS.

Yesterday I happened to get in contact with a news anchor woman (Kathy Mykleby) through WISN/ Milwaukee news which is a sister station to WorldABC. Originally this was not about thyroid - but during the conversation I brought up the shortage of my medication and they horrible misdiagnoises that are associated with the disease. She has a strong interest in our health issues that we are facing and is willing to forward any information to another area of ABC/WISN news to get a story available. This could spout National ABC coverage if we hit this hard and with Thyroid Awareness coming up in January. They quickly can google up January and see if it truly is a month to reconize thyroid and this may be a hot topic for news press release stations to cover next month. If anyone can write to her with valid information on how this is effecting them it may turn out to be something nationally covered with ABC. Please write her at kmykleby @ WISN com. -  You may want to reference MedHelp as the source in your comments since I mentioned to them I was part of this wonderful member support forum. Thank you and I have hope we finally can get this disease reconized in the news very soon.

Thanks
