Does anyone know an active thyroid forum? (something that gets traffic)

If you know of one that gets continuous traffic, or if you have a friend that belongs to one, uses one, please let me know which one it is.

Since Hashimoto thyroid and the meds affect me greatly more than average I really need to keep on top of things. I still have a thyroid, but I’m guessing only about 20% of it works anymore. (Oddly enough, some people do not experience thyroid symptoms very bad).

I know my share on the subject, but I’d like to be in touch with people more aware of what’s new, etc.

Like a many older doctors, my good thyroid doctor called it quits during Covid. His younger replacement is not very good. He worships the TSH signal number and actually said T3 and T4 dont really matter. LOL!!!!!! Totally clueless and trained by the Mayo clinic!

Many thyroid forums only get one question every couple of weeks and nobody answers it. The one here is completely dead.

If you know any, I appreciate it.

Dude, I bet that formum was pretty good at one point in time.

To my surprise, Reddit has a Hashimoto sub forum with new traffic every hour. It’s forum based but laid out kind of funky. Its more serious vs their standard garbage sub-forums loaded with smart mouthed teens.

But, It’s hard to tell the newbies from the experienced since it does not state joining date or number of posts after your forum posting “name”.

They do have some in-depth questions and answers though so from the surface, this looks good.🤔

Dude, Thanks for looking for me.

It is a shame how so many forums have just fallen apart. And health forums generally had people seriously, looking for answers in exchange of helping some others when they
can. In the past, they had enough members to make it quite useful, but not so many that you were just a dot in a crowd.

I’m not really much of a Reddit fan either, but I’ll give it a shot.

Edit: I can already see it has its share of toxic members. Not many like that, but they are there, without any forum mods.

It seems like some people on the more modern social media sites, just go online to make trouble. Apparently politeness is to “ Yesterday”.

It’s not much different than driving on the freeway through a modern city versus doing that 20 years ago.

Another edit. All is not lost. I have Also met some good people on these two different forums today help the couple lost souls and they thanked me. It seems like the private group has a few people more knowledgeable than me so that’s where I need to be To keep up on the stuff!
