Twitter, Facebook, and What It Means For Your Thyroid Health

Suddenly, doesn't it seem as if social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are all over the news? It certainly seemed that way to me since the new year! I did dive in a while back when I joined Facebook. But I have to admit, though, I would have absolutely no idea what Twitter is without the wonderful information from our patient empowerment site guide, Trisha Torrey.
