This site was conceived as a place to put all the links I have acquired whilst researching my illness. During my time as a member of various support groups I have often passed on these links to other people who found them helpful and initially posted them online in a free bookmarks site. However as the list grew this became unwieldy and the idea of the web site was born.

As a member of the groups that would be my target audience I was able to ask for comments on the site, whether it be colours, accessibility or content, taking note and adjusting as necessary. Many thyroid patients suffer from vision problems of some description and so the colours, fonts and layout were done with this in mind.

There has been no funding for this site, just my own time and energies and no advertising by any of the supplement suppliers etc whose links are included, all are listed as recommended by the people who have used them and found them helpful.

I am not medically qualified merely someone who has been afflicted by this disease, which took over 2 years to diagnose due to the current methods of testing, and as such was forced to look further for the answer as to what was happening to me and have become an informed patient. Because of this I will also list the many campaigns that are being run in the UK to raise awareness of Thyroid conditions so that others can get involved if they wish
