The Wren Project supports people with the emotional impact of autoimmune disease, offering space to talk and be heard. You can find out about the service, eligibility and how to access it through Thyroid UK's website. https://t.co/OIo3Y47u0x
@merlinthelab If you are going to the doctor because you still have symptoms, you may not be on enough levothyroxine so do check your levels. People's TSH can go right down to the bottom of the range sod make sure your level is low enough.
