Well said. We have some thyroid mavens here. I inadvertantly said I of yr of Hashimoto's after the throidectomy. What I should have said is Hashimoto like symptoms and myxedema. Sorry if I was misleading.

I too have found all those join here sites annoying. I suspect that there are many people out there blaming weight problems on their glands. Weight control is big business and I am sure some endos are having their doors beaten down by people blaming their metabolism. Free enterprise.

I also see alot of what I call basic quackery out to make the quick buck with an easy fix. Blame it on the thyroid.
