I was so inspired by a live-streaming speech given by Sally Fallon Morrell, the president of the Weston A. Price foundation, this week at the Wise Traditions Conference on how and what to eat (that is, real, whole, traditionally-prepared foods).

Dear Thyroid, Who is fragile now? Today I found this website and it turns out YOU are kicking my ass, you fucker. When you became ginormous and I went to all those doctors’ years ago, they made me feel crazy and stupid and suggested that there is nothing I can do but wait for you [...]

Dear Thyroid, Whew, what a day. Just sat for two hours in the doctor’s office so that I may speak with the nurse to see as to why she has not returned my calls. She was finally able to talk with me, so that everyone could hear. She said That, there is [...]

Setting: It’s 12:59AM, and the classroom is filling with special needs endocrinologists. (You know the ones who do not provide THE BEST care for their thyroid patients.)

Dear Thyroid, I must admit that since you attempted your hostile take over, I have not looked at the world quite the same. , Luckily, I have come to meet others of like disease who realize that venting and laughter *are* the best medicine.

Dear Thyroid, I hate you more than any words can say!, I have had a love/hate relationship with you!, We’ve had an intimate relationship since I was only 16!, Just before my 21st birthday, on January 20, 1993, I had half of you surgically removed! My only regret is that I neglected [...]

Dear Thyroid; It’s been a little while since I have felt the urgent need to write. I sat in the bottom of that well for so long, I could barely move. My body was all cramped up from sitting in near fetal positions, hugging my knees all that time. Did anyone know that I was [...]

Dear Thyroid, Today is the first real day of my life, that I can say wholeheartedly “I love you”. Our journey together has been a tumultuous one, but one that I have come to terms with and accepted many years ago. With each passing year, you have either thrown me an easy, stress-free year, or [...]

Dear Thyroid The nurse just called to say that you are now over active? I don’t believe her, there is no way. I am so tired, I could fall asleep standing up, and the weight, that is another story. The T3 is 2.26 the T4 is 0.05 and the TS is a flat line [...]
