Also due to members' requests we have established Secret Facebook GROUPS
specifically for Hashimoto's, Graves' and Thyroid Cancer sufferers.

These "Hashimoto's Only", "Graves' Only" OR "Thyroid Cancer Only" Support FB
Groups, have been established as closed, private groups to ensure we maintain
focus on issues important to YOUR individual thyroid disease.

You will be able to communicate with like minded thyroid sufferers.

Thyroid WA Support Group Inc. would like to thank members and guests of the WA
Society for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (me/cfs) for
welcoming us at The Niche, Nedlands, WA, for a Thyroid Health Awareness
presentation.

Although only a few of those present had been diagnosed with thyroid health issues,
the presentation discussed the many symptoms common to both thyroid health and
me/cfs.
