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.

On December 21, 2009, NBC Nightly News did a short piece on the unexplained rise in thyroid cancer in women. There was nothing earth-shattering in the report, but I was at least glad to see something thyroid-related at least making it into the national news, when
the national media typically go out of their way to deliberately ignore and overlook thyroid-related stories.
You can watch the NBC News piece online, as well as the additional web exclusive video piece.
And while you’re at it, read more about the rise in thyroid cancer rates for women. And don’t forget to do a Thyroid Neck Check yourself to check for thyroid cancer.
