Success in getting diagnosed, treated, and living with thyroid disease is part state of mind, part finding the right treatment, and part finding the right practitioner. How each of us gets to wellness and thyroid success is a unique path, and there's so much to learn from the people who are feeling and living well.

In this article, I'd like to introduce you to some inspiring people. [link url=http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/bleileen.htm]Eileen, a lovely young girl who went from thyroid cancer to being a promising young singer, featured at a number of high-profile events in the Seattle area.

Meet Luella, who finally knows that she wasn't "a crazy lady all those years!" as her doctor suggested, and pushed to get the diagnosis she deserved.
