Hypothyroidism
For those of you who have been involved in previous patient experience research blogs you will notice that this one is rather different
We asked Sue to talk about the history of her diagnosis of hypothyroidism and her discovery that she has a serious allergy to Thyroxine treatments.
She also talks about her ongoing battle with obesity and general weight problems.
And as you can see we have made a video of her story.
Click on the video above to hear her tell her story.
We are very interested in your responses to Sue’s story and we would like to ask you the following questions?
a) How does the story of your diagnosis compare with Sue’s?
b) What kinds of treatment did you receive and did you have any issues taking Thyroxine?
c) Currently are you still having weight issues?
d) What advice would you give to somebody who has just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism?
Obviously these are just suggestions so please bring up anything you think other readers of the blog will find of interest. Please do include links to any site you have found helpful.
Remember, a blog is really like having a conversation with lots of people at the same time and so please check back on the blog to see what others have said so that if you would like to add to their thoughts you can.
To take part, all you need to do is scroll down to the comments area, type in a nickname of your choice and then put your comments into the box. We look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thank you very much for your input!
The Patients Voice The Patients Voice is one of the many patient-focused services from Healthcare Landscape. Healthcare Landscape is a medical and healthcare research company, which conducts interviews with all the different kinds of people involved in the healthcare process. They range from patients and their carers, to medical professionals like nurses, pharmacists, physicians and academics. Our mission is to find out what they think and what their experiences have been.
We can interview over the web, at home or at a special research facility; depending on what type of study it is, the choice is often yours. We also run patient diaries and blogs, so you can air your views as honestly and informally as you like. We want to ensure that you have access to the best research experience, and in turn, our clients will learn from your story. Our clients are quite diverse. They range from pharmaceutical or medical device companies, to charities and government bodies. The Patients Voice is open to anyone in the world who wants to give an opinion and would like to try to make a difference. This forum gives you power by allowing you to get YOUR VOICE HEARD.
You should always consult your physician regarding any medical issues. While we attempt to make sure the information on this site is as accurate as possible consulting a medical professional is always to be advised.
