YOUR  THYROID  and  YOU:   THE SOCIAL IMPACT of THYROID CONDITIONS

Thyroid disease has no discrimination with whom it affects and has a strong genetic predisposition. Many people walk around feeling tired run down and exhausted most of the time. There is a real lack of community and personal understanding of Thyroid conditions. The wider community does not appreciate that people with this chronic illness have difficulty filling multiple and social roles.
