Description: At least 10% of women over the age of 60 will show evidence of an underactive thyroid and 8% of pregnant women will develop thyroid disease, frequently misdiagnosed after pregnancy as post-partum depression. Drs. Ditkoff and Lo Gerfo believe every person with thyroid disease, usually a lifelong disorder, can be helped with proper diagnosis and treatment. In The Thyroid Guide, they identify the common symptoms -- weight gain, fatigue or nervousness, and sleeplessness -- and provide clear advice on diagnostic tests, treatments, and medications. Authoritative and comprehensive, The Thyroid Guide helps patients understand their conditions and gives them the knowledge they need to manage their medications and symptoms.
-- An estimated 2 million people have diagnosed thyroid problems.
-- The often chronic and vague symptoms caused by thyroid problems require patients to arm themselves with the facts.
