Summary

Despite its prevalence, treatment of hypothyroidism has long divided opinion in the research and clinical fields.  In a paper for Nature Reviews Endocrinology, I share my experience as a patient living with hypothyroidism for 16 years, as well as the difficulties I have faced in achieving consistent and effective treatment tailored to my individual needs.

There have been huge advances in the science of endocrinology in recent decades that has not filtered down to those at the coal face, dealing with patients.
