Thanks for the tip Sas. I’ll look it up. I have noticed
that I am feeling really jumpby lately and need some
quidance. Is there a formal title for the type of
doctor a person with Grave’s should be seeing? I was
referred to a Thyroid Specialist but there is only
one in this area and he is retirred. Will an internest
be able to provide the same type of help? Sorry to
sound so ignorant but I guess I am.

Hi, after a whole week of being extremely sick with the flu I am finally able to sit for some time and read the BB.

You Canadians should be joining the Thyroid Foundation of Canada. There is a link from this BB. They have a lot of GOOD information. Also from their newsletter the Thyrobulletin, I know there are excellent Doctors in the Toronto area. As a matter of fact one of them came out to Vancouver and gave an excellent talk on Auto-immune Disease and spent some time on Graves Eye disease. From joining you will see that there are Chapter and Area contacts all over Canada. Under Ontario I can see seven different cities with help line numbers. It is not expensive. Only $20.00 a year. I feel it is well worth it and I’m sure they need your support.

Try http://home.ican.net/~thyroid/Canada.html

Hope this helps – SAS

PS, Barb I e-mailed you about this quite some time ago giving you some numbers to call but maybe you didn’t get the mail.

Hi Barb, Sorry, it looks like you have misunderstood my post. I was only trying to help by suggesting joining the Thyroid Foundation of Canada. Lots of Canadians don’t know this is available and receiving their bulletins has helped me. I e-mailed you the help line numbers because I thought someone in your area might be able to suggest a doctor that could help you. I thought at one point you were suggesting you were not getting the help you needed from your doctor. I have been quite sick myself for the past week and maybe I got mixed up myself in whom I was posting to.

One of the wonderful things about this support board is the participation of peoples from different countries. It was my Endo that suggested that I subscribe to the Thyroid Foundation of Canada because I am a Canadian. I thought it might help to pass that information along to other Canadians on this BB. If you are not interested please don’t worry about it.

Have a good weekend and take care. SAS
