Small But Mighty: A Thyroid Life

May '09 saw the first ever Thyroid Awareness Week, publicised on thyroid sites. So far as I could tell, the media didn’t refer to it. For such a common condition which is often mis/undiagnosed, this is ludicrous and is why I write this blog. Thyroid disease, so commonly un/misdiagnosed, can be dangerous and even, in some cases, life threatening. Even where symptoms are generic it is a tiny gland powerful enough to run a life. The Thyroid: Small but Mighty

Which Charity

Which Charity was a website set up by myself and friends, with the aim of allowing users to find causes they are interested in and ways of helping they prefer. It also had the aim of raising awareness of and supporting various charities through free advertising. Check out the official video here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WhichCharity ..and 'The Charity Supplement' here: http://www.scribd.com/Which%20Charity (note that there are many thyroid awareness documents included in this list) The website has now been handed over to a new team of keen, qualified individuals who have the time to take it further.

I told you it’s Small But Mighty

You know how I always say 'The Thyroid is Small But Mighty?' Well I mean it.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that the thyroid doesn't really do that much. That assumption is rubbish.

Read Stories Told by a Tribe & Help them Save the Jungle

Please click here to purchase a copy of this unique book. 'IF someone says to you: 'the forest is nothing,' I will come and say: 'come and live with me, with nothing. No money. Come and live with me in the forest for a few months – you will survive. And I will go with you to the cities with nothing – no money - how do you survive?'' - Nelson Kelesau

Synopsis: FOR SIX weeks in mid-2010 I lived in a village named Long Lamai with a tribe in Borneo known as the Penan, a once fully-nomadic, now mostly settled community. Whilst volunteering to teach English in the village I also got to work on my own project to collect stories from the villagers and to publish it in a book and sell it for the benefit of the community. HERE then is that book, containing thirty stories from twenty-one people; stories to entertain all ages with tales from Penan music, myth and legend to more serious ones about struggles in poverty, education and the need for the jungle to survive.

Whilst the information on this blog is well-researched and where opinions are presented, it is said so, I am an 20 year-old hypothyroid sufferer who is investigating and encouraging awareness of thyroid disease - I do not have any advanced medical training: DON'T take my word as fact. But you can still try it.
