The definitive guide for the more than 20 million Americans suffering from chronic thyroid problems or thyroid cancer
Beth Ann Ditkoff, M.D., and Paul Lo Gerfo, M.D., two leading thyroid surgeons, identify the common symptoms of thyroid disease -- weight gain or loss, fatigue, nervousness, and sleeplessness -- and provide advice on diagnostic tests, treatments, medications, and self-help strategies.
Every person with thyroid disease can be helped with proper diagnosis and treatment. Most thyroid problems are chronic, so patients need information to cope with this disease that will likely be with them for life. This authoritative, easy-to-use book helps them understand their conditions and gives them the knowledge they need to manage their medications and symptoms. Drs. Ditkoff and Lo Gerfo are clinicians and researchers who have successfully treated thousands of patients.
