Having a thyroid disease is both a CHRONIC illness and a LIFELONG illness. Yet the information we are given by our GP’s on our condition is MINIMAL at best. 

Having a thyroid disease makes you medically exempt for life, so it’s acknowledged how serious it is. Yet we are given no information on our illnesses and we are left for our conditions to worsen with minimal care offered other than blood tests at staggered and scarce intervals. 

Your thyroid has the ability to effect so much within your body, from chronic exhaustion, your weight, your temperature control, fertility issues, mental health impacts, mood and sleep issues. All of which are VITAL to the human body. 
It is time that more information is given to patients as well as better care. We shouldn’t be left on the sidelines and be made to feel that this doesn’t effect every waking minute of our lives!

Let’s stand together and force the NHS to listen to us and demand that we are taken seriously! We want more information and we want help with managing these horrible chronic illnesses. Please sign and share to raise awareness of this.
