National Thyroid Awareness Month and $25 For You!
January is National Thyroid Awareness Month
Fitness is not just about exercise. Its about your over all health…ALL aspects of it. When I got an email from Amy at Global Influence offering me the opportunity to participate in this campaign I had to jump at the chance IMMEDIATELY. This is an issue that is close to my heart because this summer my Aunt Tina was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. Tina is a very important person to me and I’m happy to say that she is doing very well…but I had no idea that you could have thyroid cancer in the first place!!
The thyroid is a small gland located in the middle of the lower neck, which produces hormones that regulate many functions including temperature, weight gain, and weight loss. Many Americans experience various problems with the functioning of their thyroid. Some red flags to watch for are:
* sudden weight gain or increase in body fat
*inability to lose weight despite proper diet and exercise
*fatigue, insomnia or restless sleep, anxiety or panic attacks
*gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
*chronic sinusitis or lingering infections
It is important that people experiencing these warning signs see their physician to learn more.
There are also many online resources for those seeking more information and support. One online resource is the Fibro 360 Community – Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Center. This online community not only offers a network of support, but also resources to those seeking more information about fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and related disorders including those concerning the thyroid.
If you’d like to learn more or would like to join the Fibro 360 Community, please visit Fibro 360 on Facebook. You can also follow Fibro 360 on Twitter .
Could you use a little pampering? One of my readers will win a $25 gift card to Amazon.com to be used on whatever you need! Let me treat you!

I have now started following them on twitter and became a fan on facebook. This is sooo important to me, my mom and my best friend both have Hashimoto’s disease ( spelling) could be wrong. But it is a thyroid disease. I have a family history of thyroid problems so I get checked frequently. Thanks for the information sharing.

I have fibro and didn’t know about the fb page, thanks for letting me know so I could follow it!
Now I’m following the twitter feed too.
I must say, that I am pretty sure that I have a low thyroid. However, I ‘ve had it tested twice and it’s just on the low middle of the “normal” reading so I can’t get the docs to give me anything for it.
I’m a fan now!
