Summary: Could save your life or the life of someone you love!
Comment: When my husband started loosing a ton of weight we knew something was wrong. He wouldn't go to the doctor and finally I made him go. It turned out he had an overactive thyroid and this problem is extremely common.
This clear, concise illustrated guide will give you expert advice and explains what the thyroid does, what the symptoms are, what an overactive or underactive thyroid is and what the types of treatment are. There are also case studies, charts and checklists. The glossary of medical terms and useful Web site addresses makes this practical as well.
Each thyroid disorder is described in detail. Since doctors are often too busy to explain the conditions in detail, you will want to read about the condition in detail. After all, it is your body we are talking about and you want to know all you can.
My husband was lucky and underwent the radioactive iodine treatment. Just enough of his thyroid survived that he doesn't have to take any medication. The problem with this treatment is that you can develop hypothyroidism and then you have to take levothyroxine daily.
Thyroid cancer is rare, but they do include a chapter which talks about how it is diagnosed and treated. A question and answer section is a thoughtful addition. There is also a map which shows the regions of the world in which iodine-deficiency goiter is a common disorder.
Very Helpful!

Summary: What the Doctors don't tell you
Comment: I highly recommend this book to anyone who has thyroid problems themselves or in their family. I have been going to doctors for 19 years now after a total thyroidectomy because of thyroid cancer. I was sent home from hospital with little information and told to take tablets for the rest of my life. I have been having regular checkups but have always wanted to know why did it happen. This book told me more than any doctor has in all those years. I found myself saying "Why wasn't this book around when I was going through it all?" After reading this book I now know I need to see a specialist and my children also need to be checked. This book gives you all the information you will need to be well informed about thyroid problems.
