Editorial Reviews for The First Year: Hypothyroidism: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The)
|
|
Hypothyroidism primarily strikes women, and heart disease is the leading cause of death for American women. Pratt illuminates important new developments in the areas of thyroid disease and cardiac involvement. This revised edition also explores the link between environmental factors and hypothyroidism and the role of thyroid disease in iron deficiency and anemia. Millions of Americans live with an underactive thyroid gland: Hypothyroidism affects approximately 11 million Americans. By the age of 65, 17% of women have an underactive thyroid compared to 9% of men, and 1 out of 5 women over the age of 75 has Hashimoto's thyroiditis (the most common cause of hypothyroidism). Pratt provides the latest information that newly diagnosed and ongoing hypothyroid patients need to know in order to take charge of their lives. Using her firsthand experience, and with input from medical experts and other informed thyroid patients, Pratt walks you through the medical and emotional, personal and professional impact of hypothyroidism and offers practical, encouraging, and positive suggestions on life with hypothyroidism.

Summary: Helped me so much!
Comment: My first year of diagnosis was a hard one. Hypothyroidism isn't something that you are cured of overnight. It takes months and months of hormone therapy before you begin to feel normal again and even more before the energy is there to support the feeling. :) This book helped me to see where I was in the process and let me know when I was expecting too much. If you've been diagnosed hypothyroid, you should really buy this book. It will take 12-18 months to get back to normal, wouldn't it be nice to have a friend to help you along? :)

Summary: Wonderful fount of information.
Comment: I first 'found' this book at the library while looking up information concerning HYPOTHYROIDISM. Even though I had been diagnosed many many years ago my specialists never explained to me the many situations this book discusses.
I was so happy that I could get this book for my personal library -at a discounted price- It was in near perfect!!! condtion.
This distributor was very accurate with the discription of the condition of this book.
I will order from them again/ with no hesitation.
