Another great podcast @Gary Burgess . It was lovely to hear your voice @Trish, and to have those nuggets of experience. These are worth their weight in gold. Like you i hope biomedical research can make significant inroads for my daughter too.

My aunt had a partial.thyroidectomy in 1980. With ME her hormones were all over the place. She has been using temperature readings to titrate medication dosages and this seems to help stabilize things. Note adrenals are often overlooked and can create havoc - there dosn' t seem to be a "...
