Do you have to be a certain age to use this?

Pamela;

I am SO GLAD it was cleansing to write. Reading between the lines, I felt your rage and frustration. You sure have been through hell. I am so sorry about that.

I’m thrilled you’re going to write a letter! Can’t wait to read it. Send it to submissions@dearthyroid.com or dearthyroid@gmail.com.

Thanks for loving the site, we appreciate that.

We love the uncensored rant, vent, big time!

Take Care, m’dear,
Katie

LOL … you wouldn’t believe how cleansing it was just to write that! I will definitely write a letter. Thanks so much for this site! It’s so great for people to be able to vent. Love it!

Geez Louise, I can’t believe what you’ve been through. What a fuckin’ nightmare. Really, I’m so sorry.

I hope you’ll consider sending us a “Dear Thyroid”
letter, it sure seems like you’ve got an awful lot to say to your thyroid.

Dear Thyroid: Thanks for making me be bedridden for 10 years, walk like a drunken crack addict, be wrongly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis THREE !!@&*!! times, have chronic sinus infections that required antibiotics for 13 solid months, and be a modern-day Mrs. Jerkyll/Miss Hyde at the most inopportune moments. Oh, and thanks for the closet full of clothes ranging in size from 6-18, all of which I could typically wear at least once during the year. Thanks, too, for keeping my bloodsugars high enough to touch Venus, and for keeping my concept of who I was low enough to touch molten magma. Thanks for letting me be pregnant for 8 weeks with my precious daughter and not know it because I never had periods. Thanks for the tremors that made me look like I had the DTs all the time and made it impossible to eat soup with a spoon. Thanks for the bald spot. In all honesty, thanks that I felt comfortable in 130 degree heat when we lived in Mexico. Even tho’ I was too sick and depressed to leave the house very often, that was a blessing. NOT.

But … I forgive you … only because I took over my own care and quit letting myself be ignored by mainstream physicians. You know, the ones who refused to look at my symptoms and would only look at my “normal” blood test results and shake their heads when I insisted I was still hypothyroidic. Thank you for responding to the Iodine, supplements and raw foods by completely healing and regenerating yourself so that I no longer have to take meds! Thanks for doing what you were supposed to do for once! Thanks for letting me be so miserable for so long that I knew I had to write a book to help other women avoid the hell you put me through for 15 years.

No more crap, got it?!? I know where you live.
