Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Well - the grand total has now gone up to £41.50 - included in that is a donation of £10, and two donations of £5 plus two members buying two quizzes - 15 members in all - out of over 1414. Rather sad. Luv - Sheila TPA is not a government agency. TPA does not get government funds to fight for your health. Sheila and I have exhausted every avenue of government related to your regaining your health. We have spent thousands upon thousands of hours each researching medicine and law in our vain attempt to persuade those who are supposed to be properly caring for you to do so properly. However, they will not listen. It appears that the only way, aside from the Lord producing a miracle, that this whole matter will go to court. That is going to take far, far more than the 22 quid that has been collected so far for a little light hearted game that will end with a prise. It makes me wonder....

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Dear , Reference your call for funds to take the relevant authorities before the courts. I agree that after many years of campaigning we are getting nowhere and the reasons, I suspect, are many and varied including pride, arrogance, and financial! I believe that the law can work, as it did for a local group campaigning against a wind farm on an adjacent airfield. They set up a fighting fund and used it to take the local council to the high court and won. No wind farm! However, a fund for such legal purpose would need to be set up as an entirely separate entity to the normal TPA account and potential subscribers would need to be properly informed as to the full strategy of such legal action, prior to offering their support and contributions. Legal fees are horrendous these days so a very large amount of money will be needed and that sort of cash MUST be seen to be looked after safely, used conscientiously and with complete transparency. I agree that it is, probably the only type of action that may produce the desired effect and providing that the infrastructure is in place, I for one, will be very willing to make a donation and also to be a witness in any proceedings taken. I should also like to encourage patients to be more pro-active at local level and challenge their GP's attitudes and those of the Endocrinologists etc.., where appropriate, in writing, so that there is a record. I have been doing this, in recent months and will continue to do so until a common sense approach to my treatment, is adopted. I offer you my full support in this matter and I look forward to hearing about your policy in due course. Best Regards, Sheena > > TPA is not a government agency.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Sheena - many thanks for writing this - we need all such experiences on board. We are, at the moment, registering TPA-UK as a Charity because funding will be much easier to get - if, indeed, there are people willing to help fund our campaigns for justice for the tens of thousands of sufferers in the UK alone who are being left without a proper diagnosis for their symptoms of hypothyroidism and therefore given no treatment - but for those who are being treated, they are not given a choice of treatment and a large minority do not regain their normal health on levothyroxine sodium-only. Have you any ideas of details this group used to set up a fighting fund? We certainly do appreciate we have a fight on our hands, but if I didn't believe we could win, I wouldn't be wasting my time here. We have all the medical science and rights on our side - the endocrinology specialty and the British Thyroid Association, including the Royal College of Physicians do not.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi there, There are solicitors out there that are willing to take on a case for free – No win no fee – I have previously approached them but was unable to go forward myself due to health issues that do not meet the criteria i.e I had an ongoing illness that went alongside the thyroid condition – so not a pure case.
