Thyroid Awareness Month

January is Thyroid Awareness Month

Did you know that 1 in 10 Americans suffer from thyroid disease. That's more
than the number of Americans with diabetes and cancer. The fact that an
estimated 13 million Americans have thyroid disorders, but more than half
still remain undiagnosed.

A few of the signs of an underactive thyroid are Tirdness, Dry coarse hair, Dry skin, High cholesterol, Loss of lateral eyebrow Hair, Puffy face and eyes, Slow heartbeat, Weight gain, Headaches, Depression, and Constipation.

Just some of the signs of an overactive thyroid are Nervousness, Difficulty Sleeping, Bulging eyes, Rapid heartbeat, Increased sweating, Unexplained weight loss, Fine tremor of fingers, Muscle
weakness and Infertility.

All it takes is a few simple blood tests to see what your thyroid levels are. Fifty percent of thyroid disease patients' offspring will inherit the thyroid disease gene. The thyroid gland is essential to the proper functioning of the body, regulating its metabolism and organ function. The thyroid produces hormones that influence every organ, tissue and cell in the body. If the thyroid doesn't work properly, neither well you.

You can help! Start by talking about thyroid disease with others. Let people know how you feel and what the signs of thyroid disease are.

I would like everyone to print up this article and highlight page 3. On page 3 it talks about how the lab range was changed by the AACE in November 2002 to the new range. Many labs still to this day have not changed their range of tsh testing to the new range.

The doctors don't know that the range is changed. Somewhere I read it takes 10 years for a new piece of information to reach every doctors in the world. Lets make is happen faster. Lets all print up one if not more copies of this article and drop it off with our doctors. Mail to their office and put attention to that doctor. We can make the change happen. We can help other humans in the world by doing this simple little thing of printing and dropping off an article to your doctor.

Make a Difference Today and Help out Others in the World. Click here and Print this article. Highlight page 3 and Drop off or Mail to a Doctor you know, Today!
