Hello Sweeties!
I spent a fruitful afternoon an informative event about Thyroid Awareness. As I mentioned in my previous post. I was diagnose with HyperThyroidism a few years ago. I admit I have been lapse in going to my specialist. With this DOH and Merk`s Thyroid Awareness Campaign has opened my eyes and had me go back to my doctor.
