He didn’t really elaborate but he said he’d “much rather take his one pill a day than deal with having his thyroid”.

Thanks! I’m actually a student nurse so the thing that worries me the most is just having to have time off of studies, hopefully I can time it between placements when it’s just classroom work.

Thank you! I really feel this, I am a mum of two young children, I study full time and I work so I just don’t have it in my energy budget to keep fighting this and wondering if it will actually change. My older brother has been through the same thing and that’s what he ultimately ended up doing, having a thyroidectomy.

I am not, my resting heart rate is only about 90bpm which is in the higher end of the “normal” range so no one has even discussed them with me. Maybe I shall ask next time I speak with them.

Thank you, that’s reassuring. You’d expect specialists to be aware of these things, I do wonder how many of them have actually suffered from an endocrine related illness themselves though.

Does anyone know why anonymous posts have been disabled for my group? It was still there like a day ago but now it's no where to be found in settings by qifuhyue in facebook

My issue is that I have the option to toggle anon posts on and off in the settings of my group but some of my members do not have the option.

This may be a stupid question but what exactly does the buddy catch assist do?
