They are seeking 1,000 signatures supporting change in how endocrinologists are taught to treat thyroid disease.
Not sure if petitions work, but I signed!

    Thank you all!! We just need to somehow get these idiots to listen! They could make a lot of money if they would just treat us!!

    Signed. I guess I just got lucky and got one of the good ones. He is very open to my suggestions and listens to my concerns and we discuss them. Too bad more of the endos out there arent like him.

    Thanks for the info, I signed and will pass it along to my friends. I intensely dislike my endocrinologist. I complained about feeling cold all the time and she said "Get a space heater."

    Thank you!! Friends, please pass this on... they have 729 signatures!

    Also, note that the Stop The Thyroid Madness group on Facebook just hit 7,000 members!! How can there be so many people suffering from hypothyroidism if the doctors have it figured out?? Obviously, they don't have a clue!
