It's national thyroid week here, I found it on a web site, don't know how! but it's a move to make people aware of this tiny organ that controls such a lot of the bodies main organs, and functions..there is even a video explaining all about under/over active thyroid. http://www.famili.fr/for future parents!
Can't find the article now (typical) but I was interested cos I have an under active thyroid, diagnosed just before we came to France! My doctor is looking after me OK though, we tried decreasing my medication for a while, but at the moment I alternate between 100/125mcg daily...

It's in the family, and I think we are all on thyroixin.
