Thyroid facts |
You have just received your thyroid medical results which confirm you have a thyroid disorder.
Please make sure you ask your doctor for copies of all your test results for your record. This will help in case you move house; you change medical practices; you decide to organise a second opinion or to monitor how your results compare to how you are feeling. You can then discuss with your doctor if you are not feeling as well as you should.
You have found the Australian Thyroid Foundation (ATF) which is a positive step. The ATF can offer to educate and support you with the most up to date information and advice through the many services provided by the organisation.
Membership of the ATF will give you the best opportunity to ensure you understand your thyroid condition and help you to understand your test results, with access to all the support and information thyroid patients need. Understanding your condition and your results will help you when you speak to your thyroid treating doctor about the next steps in achieving good thyroid health.
Membership helps fill in the gaps and gives you the time and understanding, with individual support when you need it.
You can join online now and then access member information held in the ATF Member’s Section on the website.
You also have the opportunity to contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss your thyroid disorder. Email us and then we can organise a phone chat.
