No Thyroid – No Roadmap

This blog exists to explore the challenges many patients face after thyroid loss — especially in accessing adequate care.

It traces my personal journey through decades of notes, journals, lab results, and the contents of my medical file. It is both a record and a reckoning — an attempt to make sense of a medical system that often fails those of us without a thyroid.

This space opens a conversation with endocrinology:
What does it mean to be a human being living in a subjective body?
And how — or even if — that perspective is factored into thyroid care.

I’ll also be exploring how new tools like ChatGPT can help patients map patterns, recognize warning signs, and advocate for themselves in a system that often doesn’t listen.

If any of this feels familiar to you…
I hope you recognize yourself in these stories. And I hope you feel less alone here.

No thyroid. No roadmap. Peeling back the onion.
