  • Hello Betty44,

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been managing this health problem for a while now. It sounds like it's ben a difficult time for you. 

    I've found some information on line on the NHS website here about Hashimoto disease. There are also 2 UK based thyroid support groups: Thyroid UK  and the British Thyroid Foundation both of whom offer various sources of support. Do have a look at both those websites and I'm sure you'll be able to connect with other people who have experience with the same diagnosis. 

    I hope that your appointment with the Consultant goes well next month and things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
