It's great to hear about this publicity! I'll certainly pick up a copy to read.

Many thanks for all the work behind the scenes with the article, and of course

the meeting in Skipton.

Cheers

Congratulations on getting this article to print. Your sheer determination and

hard work on behalf of us all is truly inspiring.

I hope that when some of our family and freinds read this in a MAJOR newspaper

that they too will get some understanding of the suffering we have all been

going through.

So once again thank you and well done!!!

Love Debbie xx

[Guest guest]

Now that IS fantastic news !!!  I'll be circulating this info amongst family and friends and also on Facebook.

I know Dr Steele (The TV GP

on 'This Morning' advocates treating his patients with presenting symptoms even if blood tests are 'normal even if it is only with Levothyroxine, it's a start..... he was on the show in 2007 and was talking about eyebrow hair loss and I thought " That's me !!! " ) 

Anyway, maybe they might pick up the discussion after the newspaper article has come out???  Or, maybe someone should email the show and get

this to an even wider (no pun intended) audience???

Thanks and well done for doing this!

Dear Member

A note to let you know that I have been working with the journalist

Barbour for some time now, and at last, the Editor of the Mail

on Sunday has agreed to publish this article this coming Sunday, 26th

June, so please remember to buy the paper, and hopefully, you will do

your bit by following up this story by sending a Letter to The Editor

giving your own views on what you have personally been put through.

We now have 1016 Counterexamples to the levothyroxine-only therapy, but

sadly, this news has not been included in the article as there was

apparently only 1000 words allocated to the article. I have been assured

however, that our message has come through loud and clear.

I hope this publicity will be the start of something really good

starting to happen for all of us, (it is LONG overdue) and that at last,

the Royal College of Physicians and the British Thyroid Association

will, for once, start to listen to what TPA and sufferers of the

symptoms of hypothyroidism have to say, and that their respective

Presidents will realise the real harm that is being caused to sufferers

because of their misleading (and in parts, incorrect) statements (that

doctors religiously follow), which they fail to back up with scientific

evidence.

Sheila and Lilian

[Guest guest]

Thanks , but Sheila was being very generous. ALL the hard work was hers and she alone deserves high praise indeed.

All I hope is that when it comes out they haven't shortened it, changed it, or made errors in vital information. I just don't trust the press - any of them. Their motto "don't let the true facts get in the way of a good story".

Lilian

Great news, thank you Sheila and Lilian.

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila

Can I ask what is a counterexample? And what does it mean to have 1016 Counterexamples to the levothyroxine-only therapy?

It sounds like a huge number, you would have thought the journalist would want to have included it.

Kind regards

Dear Sheila and Lillian

I am so pleased that the message is finally getting out via mass media. It has

been a long time coming and is testament to your tireless campaigning.

Hopefully this will be the catalyst for many more and give encouragement and

hope to the many thousands of people who feel unheard and isolated. Well done.
