NOTES FROM MARY: TALKING TURKEY

Just in time for Thanksgiving, check out a holiday thyroid favorite: "Put Some Gravy On That: Thanksgiving Ruminations of a New Thyroid Patient." Humorist Jody LaFerriere was a newly diagnosed thyroid patient when she first wrote this wonderful piece. Even though it's been 3 years since her diagnosis, her thoughts -- and wonderful sense of humor -- are still just as funny, as she shares the things she's thankful for, which include her thyroid pills, TV, and. . . storage bins? Ok, you'll have to read the article to get THAT one explained! A thyroid holiday CLASSIC!! Read it now!

This year, I am thankful for enjoying better health than ever before, my slow and steady continued weight loss, and my wonderful family, friends and you, my readers!!!

Live well,

-- Mary
