Dear Thyroid^TM

Dear Thyroid Thyrants

In June, Dear Thyroid introduced Thyrants™ ; a compiled posting that’s posted on Saturdays. Each post contains entries we’ve received from the previous six days, solicited all week long via:

Website/Comments

In 35-50 words or less, we want your rants, as many as you wish, about how you’re feeling in that very moment about your thyroid disease or thyroid cancer, and how it’s affecting you, both good and bad.

As our prolific community says: Regina, “A Thyrant a Day Keeps the Straight Jacket Away” and “A Thyrant a Day Keeps the Prozac Away”. Lisa,”A Thyrant a Day Keeps The Thyrroihds Away”.  Chris, “A Thyrant a Day Keeps the Cancer Away, to name a few.

Thyrants can include what you dealt with the previous week, yesterday, or what you’re dealing with today — something you just need to get off your chest, or something that’s difficult to express to the other people in your life. Your rant can be broader, too — snippets of your thyroid story.

Because, let’s face it: sometimes we aren’t in the mood to write a Dear Thyroid Letter or Thygraph to our thyroids and these blurbs can be just as healing and cathartic. We will post as follows:

• Tweets will be posted as @YourName rantarific rant
• Facebook notes will be posted as @Facebook (Nick)name rantalicious rant
• Email notes will be posted as @(Nick)name (NO EMAIL ADDRESS, NO real names, unless you chose to use your real name. Protecting your privacy is of the utmost important to us)

There is no limit on how many Thyrants™ of The Day you can send in, so keep ‘em coming and if you haven’t had a chance to submit a full letter yet, use this as an opportunity to get your feet wet. We love, love, love reading what you send in!

Note: Please include your name or nickname that you wish to be used when submitting via Facebook and email.
