Product Description:
Do you feel sluggish or depressed? Do you tire easily? Are you overly sensitive to the cold? Do you feel swollen or overweight?

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best reference on thyroid health and treatment.
YOUR THYROID is the single most comprehensive and accessible reference on thyroid problems I have seen. It includes summaries of recent studies that other books lack, it treats the cluster of thyroid problems in a unified way, and raises issues of treatment with the same level of integration. Of particular help to women seeking in-depth information on thyroid issues.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best thyroid book I've found so far!
Not only did this book help me understand my thyroid and what it does, it helped my primary care giver diagnos my disorder. The book lists all the tests that should be done and what the normal levels should be and it has a great resource listing. It also tells how to trace thyroid problems in families. I finally have a handy resource book at home when I need it!
