The Complete Thyroid Book: Everything You Need to Know to Overcome Any Kind of Thyroid Problem

I loved this book. I was diagnosed with Graves' disease after my first pregnancy, and there are a lot of things this book explained for me that I never knew, and that my doctors did not explain. I have had problems with my eyes, and I also did not understand radioactive iodine very well. There are a lot of things in this book that anyone with Graves' disease should know. There is a lot of stuff on hypothyroidism and proper treatment and tests that we need to know about that is hard to find elsewhere. I did not realize how much bad information is on the internet until I read this book.

I'm a middle-aged engineer who knows the difference between "the right stuff" and crap. Nearly all the self-help health books on the rack at Borders were the wrong stuff. They contradicted much of the basic information I'd already pulled out of my own searches and didn't give me sufficient practical detail. This "Complete Thyroid Book" finally let me understand what was going on with my thyroid. It spelled out the issues with my hypothyroid problem and gave me details about my thyroid pills that even educated my pharmacist. I don't usually trust book cover blurbs, but after I googled Ain and Rosenthal the blurbs on this book were understatements. This book is truly "the right stuff".

As someone who has been struggling with hypothyroidism for many years, I highly recommend this book, which really provides the best information on thyroid disease I've seen yet. I have had a lot of trouble finding information on thyroid disease that I trust. There are a lot of strange things on the internet that didn't add up for me, and this book really helped me wade through the junk, and understand what treatments are right for me, and why some things I was reading did not make any sense.

This book answered all my questions on thyroid cancer, and in EASY to UNDERSTAND language. Dr. Ain has WONDERFUL information he shares with us! And there is everything else a thyroid cancer patient would need to know about hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone, lifestyle issues, etc. So although this is definitely a book for all people with thyroid diseases of any kind, it's especially welcome for us thyroid cancer patients!
