thyroidstory.mivox.com was started as a simple blog dealing with my new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Topics include medical information about hypothyroidism, information about hypothyroid medications like levothyroxine (Synthroid) and Armour Thyroid, as well as natural supplements like Thyromine, vincopectine and various vitamins and minerals. The site has now expanded to include discussion forums where other hypothyroid patients can discuss their experiences with hypothyroidism, and share tips for what medications, supplements and weight loss strategies have worked best for them.

Diagnosing RS
Diagnosing RS is complicated because it can be mistaken for other conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, vascular disease, or thoracic outlet syndrome (Lavery JP et al 1992). Therefore, physicians diagnose RS based on the presence of some of the following factors (NIAMS 2001):

- Periodic attacks of cyanosis
- A negative antinuclear antibody test result, which demonstrates the absence of lupus
- A normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which demonstrates the absence of major systemic inflammation
