I had thyroid cancer.
I had no idea what your thyroid does for you.
Happy you are getting some relief.
I've had a bit of a journey myself -
@pixelpusher220 no, but I’d speculate the medical and pharma industry being less willing to try in America being a factor.
I have US Born but 1/2 Kiwi nieces who absolutely swear US food is basically poison and I can't really say they're wrong. They moved there in their teenage years and say they always feel less healthy when they have to return.

@hacks4pancakes as a middle aged woman dealing with a laundry list of symptoms including fatigue, hairloss, bad concentration, muscle/joint pain + stiffness etc etc, kudos to you for getting a diagnosis + treatment and continuing on despite your symptoms.

@hacks4pancakes I was going to joke about fluoride in our water but a quick Google _might_ suggest there's something there lol
@xssfox both countries fluoridate (at least until RFK bans it) and my teeth thank them

@d_rift to be fair hyperthyroidism can resolve itself it’s not a medical miracle. But it was a ten year sticky battle for me
