on Dateline tonight? It was so fascinating because as she was talking about being bipolar, she mentioned that it began with a case of hives that she had returned and that she had more than once over the course of her life. When I heard she had had hives, I wondered if she was hypothyroid. Then as they spoke again about the bipolar disorder and the cause of the hives, Stone Philips mentioned that in addition to psychological factors, she also suffered from a related thyroid condition!! Well, don't we all know about those links?? And I have been thinking that since she has her new talk show and since she is bipolar, that I might try to write to her to see if she would do a show about thyroid disease!! So now ... that's on my list of things to do! Cathy :)

Well I have had several knoweldgeable people tell me that thyroid hormone does have a hand in regulation of the neuro transmitters, production wise, but have never ran acroos any hard core evidence yet...seems very reasonable though. I think thyroid disorders seem a lot like menatal issues to someone looking in from the outside but when you talk to people with TD they say they can tell it is not a mental disorder.
