Hi
I am new to the group but not thyroid problems, some of you do know me
as I campaign all the time for better and more informative health care
for thyroid people ( people as a whole if it comes to that, especialy those
who own a chronic disease ) It seems that you have a very wise doctor
Sallette to let people know where they stand. Have you let your doctor
know in writing that you approve of this?
