So often people say that no-one can understand thyroid disease unless they have it themselves and of course not everyone experiences a thyroid condition in the same way. For some it is easily managed while others really struggle. Both physical and mental health symptoms can be so varied and wide ranging. Our appearance can also be profoundly affected. Yet effective treatment can make the world of difference. So many people have struggled with their thyroid condition, sometimes more than they've realised, when they've been unwell, then got their lives back and gone on to live full and productive lives once their thyroid hormones are well managed. Treatment can sometimes be transformational.

The Thyroid Trust hold regular information and support events for people affected by thyroid disease, including friends, family and professionals. The charity continues to raise awareness of issues that matter to patients and advocate for better treatment. Please help the charity to keep going and to support others. Fundraise for us today!
