talkshoeOh boy! You are invi­ted to a Thy­roid Patient Com­mu­nity Call on your com­pu­ter which will be held each and every Fri­day night for an hour with myself, Janie, as host.  We had the first one last Fri­day and it was fun and infor­ma­tive. No, I didn’t announce it here because I wan­ted to work on any bugs in the sys­tem as we lear­ned to use it.

Here’s a chance to ask ques­tions about shor­ta­ges of desic­ca­ted thy­roid, options to talk to your doc­tor about to treat your hypothy­roi­dism during this shor­tage period, how to find a good doc­tor, and more.

Times are 7 pm Paci­fic, 8 pm Moun­tain, 9 pm Cen­tral and 10 pm Eas­tern. Just go here: http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=62603&cmd=tc

You can make two choi­ces: just lis­ten to the Audio of the pod­cast talk show, or call in. Phone num­ber will be right on the bot­tom.  You can regis­ter with Talk Shoe and pick a user name, or come in as a Guest.

You’ll also note a chat box.  The handy and beau­ti­ful gals Darla and Diane will usually be there to guide you. If you want to line up to talk in the queue, you’ll be asked the topic of your con­ver­sa­tion in the chat box.  As you wait for me to get to you, you’ll be able to hear the talk through your phone, and will need to MUTE your com­pu­ter sound.

You’ll be seeing guests join us, as well, so watch for each Com­mu­nity Call announ­ce­ment on the above link. And even without a sche­du­led guest, you just never know who is going to pop in and chat. :)

Come join us! And remem­ber: we are all just patients chat­ting with patients. This is not to replace the rela­tionship with your doc­tor in your treat­ment or for treat­ment advice. Stick with your doc­tor for that.

    How can we as patients for­ma­lize our group to keep the FDA from res­tric­ting the “medi­cal” pro­fes­sio­nals giving us Armour
    Thyroid?

    (From Janie: Due to a glitch, I was una­ble to record it last week, but have ins­truc­tions on how to over­come any glitch for tonite. So yes, if all goes well, you’ll be able to lis­ten to a recor­ded version.)

    Janie, is it pos­si­ble to lis­ten to the radio epi­sode again? Can someone record it and post it as a pod­cast on TalkShoe.com? I work in the eve­nings (I’m in Cali­for­nia) so I can’t lis­ten live! Thanks!

    No pod­cast from yesterday’s call? I mis­sed it! Would love to lis­ten to it!

    (From Janie: No recor­ding once again to lis­ten to. :( I have either been doing something wrong while hos­ting, or there’s something wrong in the sys­tem. The owner is wor­king hard right now to get this recor­ding pro­blem fixed before next week, as well as the audio issue. This is too suc­cess­ful of a Com­mu­nity Call not to get it RIGHT.)
