Editorial Reviews for Living Well with Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You... That You Need to Know
|
|
Is hypothyroidism your problem? For millions of Americans, fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, depression, and other symptoms often go undiagnosed and untreated. Endured by weary patients and ignored by doctors, common warning signs of hypothyroidism are often attributed to depression, stress, age, or simply dismissed as "all in the patient's head." Even diagnosed, hypothyroidism is frequently treated improperly, preventing countless numbers of people from feeling and living well. This book, exhaustively researched by a professional writer and hypothyroidism patient, is written for patients, their families, their doctors, and the countless number of people with undiagnosed or undertreated symptoms of the disease---frustrated, as the author was, by the lack of information on the subject. Living Well With Hypothyroidism includes dozens of compelling, first-person accounts from people who have learned to triumph over the disease and thoroughly answers such questions as: What is hypothyroidism?
What are the warning signs, symptoms and risk factors?
Why is getting diagnosed often a challenge and how can you overcome that obstacle?
What treatments are available (including those your doctor hasn't told you about)?
Why is the most frequently prescribed treatment often insufficient?
What are the options and benefits of alternative therapies?
What effects does hypothyroidism have on infertility and pregnancy?
How do you recognize hypothyroidism in infants and children?
What is the outlook for future treatment of hypothyroidism?
And Much More!

Summary: Most informative guide I've ever read.
Comment: She presents alternative modes of healing as well as knowledge about the conflicts of interest of thyroid drug makers. One advice that I found especially useful was to quit coffee, and drink Yerba Mate instead. I carefully and slowly tapered down my coffee dosage, and then started drinking Yerba Mate tea. As a result, I immediately experienced well being that had eluded me since 1992. Also, I began to watch out for other foods, and discovered that I have many food intolerances. I've learned that there are more factors influencing my Hypothyroidism and my enlarged nodules than I thought. My latest TSH indicates that I am in the normal range, but my symptoms do not reflect such number. We need more patient advocates like Mary Shomon.

Summary: great reading
Comment: finally, I could get all the info in one place. Very useful for many of those who struggle with hypothyroidism and had many questions and little or no answers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book
Comment: This book arrived, as promised, full of information that I had not read in other books covering thyroid disease. I have not finished it in it's entirety, however it is safe to say that I would highly recommend it to others suffering from this ailment. The subject is covered extremely well, from various perspectives, and leaves the thyroid patient feeling more in control of the disease, from having such a great heads up from many sources.

Summary: Don't Bother...
Comment: I bought this book shortly after I learned I was hypo-thyroid. I had high expectations, because of hearing about Mary's books on her forums. I was severely disappointed. This book didn't tell me anything new...I had read the website,Stop The Thyroid Madness.... and that website had vast information vs. Mary's book. I also bought one of her e-books about Thyroid and Hair loss and was also disappointed. It didn't tell me anything new, at all. Her forum site has become a vehicle to sell her books, and not a open forum on thyroid health...New information is not allowed to be exchanged on the list if it pertains to other than Mary's books or websites....very Sad. I will look elsewhere for up-to-date relevant thyroid information.
Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Treatment

Summary: awesome resource for anyone with thyroid disease
Comment: I wish I had been able to read this book years ago. I have been living with thyroid disease for many years now, and suffering needlessly for the entire time. This book was a God-send, and has opened my eyes to the entirety of my disease. She explains in very simple terms what thyroid disease is, and how to find a GOOD doctor who will help alleviate the symptoms and treat the disease properly. I would recommend this book to everyone who has thyroid disease, even if you have had it for a long time.
