Heres a question for everyone in the main Thyroid Support forum. "What is the one thing you wish your doctor had told you when you were first diagnosed with a thyroid condition" Ill get things started with my own input. In my case, I wish my doctor at the time had told me that it could take time for me to feel better. I think at that point, I knew so little about thyroid problems that I was certain I would take my pill, and feel great within minutes -- kind of like taking an aspirin or something.
