Product Description
Product Description
One person in twenty will experience a thyroid problem at some stage. For the sufferer the result can be a bewildering variety of physical and psychological symptoms, from breathlessness to flaky skin, and from weariness to irritability. Fortunately, once thyroid disease has been diagnosed, the chances of successful treatment are high. Modern approaches to management, involving drugs or occasionally surgery, allow most people with thyroid problems to overcome them completely. In clear non-technical language, Dr Toft explains the working of the thyroid, what can go wrong, and how the problems are treated.

Having suffered thyroid disorder for over 5 years I went to my local pharmacy while awaiting my precreption and came across this book. I read and understood it all! I decided then to visit the author is currently is working in a private hosptial in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is a highly experienced and knowledgable man and has and still is dealing with my on-going thyroid problems! Fantastic book! highly recommended! *****

Concise guide to disorders of the Thyroid. Was not in-depth enough for me personally, having read many books on the subject, but good for an introduction to the disease and its causes.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about eight years ago and, at the time, bought a couple of books about the condition. Both were incredibly patronising (particularly, and I hate to be stereotypical, the American one). Neither contained anywhere near the amount of information I wanted despite being at least three times as long as this book.
As I said, I have been dealing with hypothyroidism for a long time and, unfortunately, in the last year or so developed complications which have sent me back to the drawing board as it were. It was this change in my health that prompted me to look for a new book to keep handy. After all, some of my symptoms mean my memory and concentration aren't brilliant at the moment so a pocket sized book like this seemed to have its uses. It has a simple layout, not too wordy, not crammed with unnecessary information.
For me, this is a good book for double-checking odd bits and pieces but for someone who has been newly diagnosed with either and under- or overactive thyroid, I think it could be incredibly helpful in the early stages of managing your condition.
I certainly wish I'd known about it eight years ago.
