"Providing information and resources to promote effective diagnosis and appropriate treatment for people with thyroid disorders in the UK"
Thyroid diseases include: hypothyroidism (resulting from the production of too little thyroid hormone) and hyperthyroidism (resulting from the production of too much thyroid hormone). Thyroid UK campaign for people who, despite recieving treatment, are still suffering, or who have symptoms but who are told they are "normal." Their website features a wealth of information for patients and anyone interested, including information about symptoms, causes, related problems and treatments, as well as related research and recent news about the diseases. There are many ways to give to Thyroid UK, as well as merchandise which can be brought. The donations raised will allow Thyroid UK to continue their work in raising awareness of these highly common diseases and helping people to work out if they have a thyroid disease.

May 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 absolutely ludicrous. Thyroid symptoms are rarely life-threatening - but this tiny little gland in the neck can cause tons of problems.
Please see my blog about thyroid diseases and the state of awareness in the UK: http://thyroidlife.blogspot.com/
The Thyroid: Small but Mighty
There are several links to Thyroid UK on my blog, in particular I would like to point out the comprehensive symptom checker on their website - comprehensive, because it covers more than any other that I have found and so points out more issues of thyroid disease.
