Thyroid Cancer Support

Posts Tagged ‘list’

Things have changed significantly in the past ten years for thyroid patients. But what are the biggest thyroid stories or developments that specifically affect thyroid patients? Is oprah’s on-again/off-again thyroid problem on the list? What about the ongoing fracas over the “normal” TSH test range? How about the rise of natural thyroid — and the more recent shortages? I’ve taken a look back at the years 2000 to 2009, and identified The Top Ten Thyroid Stories of the Decade, the developments I personally believe had the biggest impact on us as people with thyroid disease.

What Do You Think?

I want to hear from you as well. As thyroid patients and practitioner, do you agree with my choices? Do you disagree? Do you have other developments or stories you feel should be included on the list? Share your thoughts and input now, and see what other thyroid patients and practitioners have to say.

Wouldn’t it be helpful to have in one place a list of pharmacies that have recently had available supplies of natural desiccated thyroid drugs like Nature-Throid, Armour and Erfa Thyroid? The folks at the Save Natural Thyroid Coalition have put together a Natural Desiccated Thyroid Survey and Database. If you have a source for natural desiccated thyroid drugs, please submit your pharmacy recommendation. If you’re looking to fill a prescription, check out the database listing of places where you can get various natural desiccated thyroid drugs. Natural Desiccated Thyroid Survey and Database.
