3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing in a clinch..., 16 Sep 2006

By	Hallber "Hallber" (London) - See all my reviews

I bought this book after being diagnosed with Graves Disease in March this year. I cannot deny - there is an abundance of very useful info. For example, did you know that Graves Disease can lead to more pronounced water retention and actual puffiness/bloating? I didn't until I read this book. And the book gives advice regarding what to do about it. I found other useful bits of information too, such as the areas describing symptoms and the translation of typical thyroid hormone test results. Through this book I discovered that I was acutely sick. I could have died at any time (it's a good thing the doctors didn't tell me this because I would have panicked even more!).

BUt...this book is let down by the diet and exercise recommedations, which focus on hypotyroidism rather than hyperthyroidism. It does this on the assumption that most of us will go from hyper to hypothyroidism at some point. There is absolutely NOTHING in it for those suffering from ongoing hyperthyroidism. Nothing about diet and nothing about exercise. The title led me to believe that I would find some help, some relief that I had not been able to find from conventional medicine or on the Internet. I had no such luck. Instead, it focused on the symptoms of hyperthyroidism but did not tell me anything that I didn't already know about how to improve my lot in the medium to long term.

If you are looking for more information than is available on the Internet, this is probably the book for you. If you are serious about looking for explanations, advice and hope with dealing with Graves Disease, you will not find it in this book. What you will find is a rehash of the info available for hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's syndrome, which is not exactly helpful for those of us who have had Graves for a long time and have no prognosis in sight.

It's a disappointment, hence the three stars.
