From the Back Cover
A woman's definitive guide to understanding and coping with thyroid disorders
Millions of women suffer from a thyroid condition; unfortunately, many of them may not know that the cause of their health problems is thyroid disease and so their symptoms often go undiagnosed. The most common thyroid disorders are autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease. And thyroid cancer is the fastest rising cancer among women. Now M. Sara Rosenthal, Ph.D., the most trusted voice on thyroid disorders, is helping women take charge of their health with a new, up-to-date edition of The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women.
This revised and updated second edition includes the latest research and corrects misinformation in other thyroid books. It addresses women's specific concerns about thyroid disease symptoms and treatment, including thyroid hormone therapy and how thyroid disease interacts with other women's health issues, such as pregnancy, menopause, emotional health, diet and weight gain, and other autoimmune disorders.
It answers your most urgent questions, including:
- Are my panic attacks actually a symptom of too much thyroid hormone?
- Is my fatigue related to hypothyroidism?
- Is hormone replacement therapy an option for me?
The ultimate resource for any woman with a thyroid condition, The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women will help you make informed decision about your health in language you can understand.

For newly diagnosed thyroid patients,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Paperback)
This book is a good read for those newly diagnosed to thyroid disease. It offers the basic information on thyroid disease (Are you hyper or hypo, symptoms, medication, etc.) without overwhelming the reader. The author is very precise in her explanations also. For those of you looking for answers to more challenging and complex thyroid problems, this would NOT be the book to buy. It doesn't challenge any of the current practices and assumes that you have a simple problem that one pill will cure.

This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Paperback)
This is an excellent book which describes classic thyroidproblems and a variety of solutions. Goitrogens are contained in cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, almonds and fiber. People living in North America get natural iodine in their diets. The thyroid makes T3 and T4 cells. The parathyroid controls calcium regulation. Hyperthyroidism produces anxiety, diarrhea, easy bruising, increased gland size, eye problems, exhaustion, heat intolerance and palpitations, infertility, menstrual changes, muscle weakness, paralysis and tremors. Hypothyroidism causes cardio changes, cold intolerance, digestive changes, fatigue, muscle cramps, numbness and autoimmune deficiencies.

This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Paperback)
Very nice easy to read book about Thyroid and practical explanations, symptoms and questions about related issues once the illness is is established, such as selecting doctors, understanding what they say, etc. It is notwritten for Medical Students although it helps to any student in the way how to communicate with patients.
