Welcome to International Thyroid Awareness Week
Welcome to www.thyroidweek.com. This new website supports the first ever International Thyroid Awareness Week (25 - 31 May 2009) and has been designed to raise awareness and educate people about the critical role the thyroid gland plays in our wellbeing.
There are millions of people across the world who may be suffering needlessly because they are unaware of the symptoms or impact of thyroid problems. As a sufferer myself for many years I know how difficult it can be living with an undiagnosed thyroid condition.
Thyroid problems can easily be confused with other conditions delaying essential diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is important to understand the common signs and symptoms of thyroid dysfunction and seek advice from your doctor if you are worried that you, or a family member / partner, may be suffering or at risk.
This website provides information and advice to help us all take action against thyroid conditions.
