Dear Thyroid Patients: Welcome to the Thyroid Sorority, aka the Thyroidority!

Back in June, I had the pleasure to bring you an interview with the founder/editors of the wonderful site DearThyroid. DearThyroid encourages thyroid patients and their friends and family to write letters to our favorite gland. I have just submitted my first "Dear Thyroid" letter, and it's been published today. It was inspired by Twitter conversations with DearThyroid.com founder Katie Schwartz, and co-editor, Liz Schau, about how in many ways, developing a thyroid problem meant we all joined a strange sort of sorority or fraternity -- a "Thyroidority" so to speak. And my Dear Thyroid letter took off from there!

And if you want to jump into the thyroid conversation on Twitter, it's easy, fun, informative, and empowering. Sign on -- you can find out how here. After you've signed up for a free account, follow me, say hi, and I'll introduce you around to many wonderful people who are Twittering about thyroid disease!
