Comments by Readers - Thyroid Disease Manager

I just want to thank you for a really well informed and well updated site. I was looking all over the internet for textbook knowledge on the thyroid that was updated. PubMed was not able to answer my basic questions, so your site has been a lifeline for my analytical research. Thanks and keep up the good job! Yours sincerely, Ani A MD PhD 8/25/2016

To all the doctors that contribute to Thyroidmanager.org: I just want to thank all of the doctors that contribute their thyroid studies to thyroidmanager and to those that maintain the website. After seven years of suboptimal medical treatment for my Hashimoto's (TSH levels kept between 2 and 3), my health was poor and my vitiligo advanced tremendously. However, because of the knowledge I gained from the website, I was able to find a wonderful endocrinologist that now has my TSH at .6 and I feel wonderful and my vitiligo is actually repigmenting! I am no longer walking around in a fog struggling to stay awake all day and I can enjoy my three beautiful children, not to mention the hope I now feel as my pigment continues to come back. Thank-you once again and please know you are changing lives for the better.

Thank you very much for your letter answering my question. It is also very pleasant to realize that doctors who care more about helping people that about proper billing still exist in this country. Thank you again for everything you are doing.

Can't thank you enough for your advise and for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with me. Having just completed fellowship and feeling "alone" it's wonderful to know that you're "out there" willing to hold our hands and guide us along!! On behalf of all "post fellows" learning the ropes, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Dear Thyroid Disease Manager Team,

I am a medical student in London and I feel compelled to write to you to thank whomever is responsible for the Thyroid Disease Manager Web site. It is the most amazing, thorough, easily negotiable and all round fabulous site I have come across for anything medical. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have emailed all my coursemates to get them to use it too.

I notice you are sponsored by Abbott - I promise to buy/use/prescribe what ever it is they do/make in gratitude!!!

You have done more for my knowledge of thyroid problems in the last 4 hours than I could possibley have learned from the various books I have consulted in days.

I particularly like the summary sections of each chapter. In fact, I tended to read these first, and then go in and read the rest of the chapter (or the bits relevant to my learning objectives). If I had to offer any suggestions for improvements, the summary in the immunology chapter was very different to the rest. It was not a summary of the chapter, but more a kind of epitaph.

I hope your idea catches on for other specialties/diseases.

Your most thankfully,
J. D., Medical Student

It has been a real pleasure to find out this page and the thyroid and your book. For me, in Bolivia, it is very difficult to get access to the Medical literature. Thank you very much for your efforts!!

Thank you. I had my thyroid completely removed in 1987. It change my life forever. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you being on the web.

I have a long-standing side interest in thyroid pathophysiology, especially as it affects CNS function relevant to psychiatric illness. My first focused readings in this area came during a medical student clerkship at the NIH almost 20 years ago. In 1999 I was asked to prepare a lecture on this topic. Many hours of reading, reviewing, and writing went into that lecture, as you can well imagine.

Just recently I have been asked to give this lecture once again. In some ways it was easier to write the entire lecture from scratch, rather than review what I've written and decide what is still up to date, as my usual reading does not include much of the ongoing thyroid literature. This work has been made much easier by my fortuitous discovery of the Thyroid Disease Manager. What a wonderful piece of work! Several of my questions--issues unclear in my original lecture, new concerns developed over the past few years--were quickly and authoritatively answered by TDM. Thank you for placing this very valuable resource on the web.

Sincerely,

I am a medical editor ---I regularly research medicine on the web and this site is by far one of the most intelligently constructed and comprehensive I have encountered. The information on ultrasound was straightforward and comprehensible and answered all my questions.--- Thank you for this impressive and wonderful site. I only wish there were others like it in other specialties.

This is by far the most up-to-date Info on Thyroid disorders. THANK YOU !!Being an old "doc" in thyroidology dealing with these problems day to day I must admit that I did learn something today:D1-D2-D3 and Selenium's effect on T4 --> T3 conversion. Again, THANK YOU for a wonderful publication!

Dear Dr. Hennemann, Dr. De Groot, and thyroid specialists contributing or working for Thyroid Disease Manager.org. This is the first time I read the 'News'.I don't have medical background but I have thyrtoxicosis. ( I had tried to read some of the book chapters). The sites offer far much more than my doctor told me. After reading the articles in the site and including the "news" [on the relationship between hypothyroidism and fetus' IQ..I am glad that i didn't opt for taking the radioactive iodine or the operation. (well, I am on the propylthiouracil - I am a 33 y.o. woman) Thanks for the site and researche and effort and kind thoughts and everyone who contributes.

THANKS everyone!
May joy, peace, wealth, health, luck & love be with you.
