Living Well With Hypothyroidism by Mary J. Shomon (2000, Paperback)

This is an exellent publication for anyone who has been diagnosed with thyroid disease. It clearly lays out the challanges facing thyroid patients and guides the reader throuhg some very effective strategies for making life more healthy. Mary Shoman also doesn't pull any punches. Thyroid disease is complex and just taking medication often isn't enough for patients to feel really healthy. It is the patients challenge to find what works for them and doctors willing to work with them to feel better.

I bought this book because I am a person who suffers from low thyroid and because mary Shoman also has hypothyroidism.

It covers all the basic information you need to know about hypothyroidism. It also addresses many possible treatments and their effectiveness for different people.

I am in my first year since being diagnosed and treated for hypothyroidism. I found this book very helpful, even while I'm remaining on standard medication. This book helped me understand the disease, my options, questions to ask my doctor and some helpful suggestions. I haven't read any other books, only internet searching, but I'm glad I did. Mary gives it to you straight, for better or worse.

I have a thyroid problem and wanted to learn more about it. I heard the book that I bought was really good but could not find it at the local bookstore, or at the library. Was really glad to find it on ebay. The cost was very reasonable, much cheaper I'm sure than I would have had to pay otherwise, and the shipping was reasonable. It was sent to me very promptly and I have enjoyed the book. It was a very good purchase and the seller was very nice and easy to work with.

I have not read the book yet. It looks nice sitting on my table, beside the bed. I think the table of contents appeared quite informative.
