Well said, Sue. I agree completely. I joined this list less than a year
ago and I have learned an incredible amount, but more importantly, my
approach and attitude has been greatly improved. When I come across a
very whiney post, it reminds me to keep my attitude more positive.
Reading all the problems people face with thyroid disease provides a
good overview of the major issues any of us MIGHT face--another part of
the patient education process. I'm very grateful for all this list has
given me.
