I never realized that thyroid disease was more prvelent in women than
diabetes.  I really have been hit with a double wammy as I am also diabetic.

As a person with life threatening allergies what I do when I go to my

out my books and see how I can eleviate my problems through food or whatever.

Carol can you tell me a little about this Alt Support Thyroid group.  Is it
a chat line, an e-mail discussion group and how do I get on?
