Product Description

Product Description
Focuses on the thyroid's effect on the body, what treatments are available and how to cope with a chronic thyroid condition.

From the Back Cover

A woman's definitive guide to understanding and coping with thyroid disorders

Millions of women suffer from a thyroid condition; unfortunately, many of them may not know that the cause of their health problems is thyroid disease and so their symptoms often go undiagnosed. The most common thyroid disorders are autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease. And thyroid cancer is the fastest rising cancer among women. Now M. Sara Rosenthal, Ph.D., the most trusted voice on thyroid disorders, is helping women take charge of their health with a new, up-to-date edition of The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women.

This revised and updated second edition includes the latest research and corrects misinformation in other thyroid books. It addresses women's specific concerns about thyroid disease symptoms and treatment, including thyroid hormone therapy and how thyroid disease interacts with other women's health issues, such as pregnancy, menopause, emotional health, diet and weight gain, and other autoimmune disorders.

It answers your most urgent questions, including:

  • Are my panic attacks actually a symptom of too much thyroid hormone?
  • Is my fatigue related to hypothyroidism?
  • Is hormone replacement therapy an option for me?

The ultimate resource for any woman with a thyroid condition, The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women will help you make informed decision about your health in language you can understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, informative, helpful, 12 Nov 2006
By Ms. L. Chalkley "Lili" (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Sourcebooks) (Paperback)
I have just been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism. I knew nothing about either conditions and was a bit put off by all the titles about thyroid conditions and different perspectives. After my GP gave me some info on the current science and conflict, I found Rosenthal's book a really good starter for me.

There are several complexities that women experience because of our hormone cycles and I found the work comprehensive and reassuring. It's calm, well-written and comes from a solid research base. Dr Rosenthal has overcome her thyroid problems and I think it helps her style of presentation.

There are plenty of resource links and bibliographical references, so again I thought a good signpost for individual interests.

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Sourcebooks) (Paperback)
The MUST-READ book on low thyroid is "Stop the Thyroid Madness", passionate and comprehensive. I also recommend the book "Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It" by Brownstein via Amazon.com

3.0 out of 5 stars A good starting point, 26 Dec 2007
This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Sourcebooks) (Paperback)
I found Rosenthal's book a good starting point when first diagnosed. It explains very well the Biology of thyroid conditions, the symptoms, treatments etc. The focus on women meant that I learnt a lot that was not even considered in other books. As my diagnosis has progressed I have found it lacking in detail unfortunately but still do refer to it on occassion. If you've just been diagnosed and need something readable, that considers issues particular to women in an informative manner, I would recommend this book.
