About Thyroid Guide
Could You Have a Thyroid Problem?
|
|
You may be wondering if you have a thyroid problem. But, if you're like many of the people who contact Mary Shomon every day, you may also be wondering if you're looking too much into symptoms you're experiencing, and perhaps struggling too hard to make a diagnosis fit. Or maybe you worry that trying to figure out if you have a thyroid problem will make you look like a hypochondriac to your doctor, friends and family.
Most of the symptoms of thyroid conditions are similar to the symptoms of other conditions and health issues. These symptoms don't automatically suggest "thyroid disease" to practitioners, much less patients. Therefore, it's dangerously easy -- and far too common -- for you or your doctor to explain away thyroid symptoms.
In this audio presentation, Mary will review various risk factors for thyroid disease, along with the symptoms -- many of them easily overlooked, or attributed to other causes, to help you get properly diagnosed, treated, and on your way to better health.
| Mary Shomon is a thyroid patient advocate, author, and thyroid patient herself. Since 1997, she's been Thyroid Guide at the About Thyroid site, researching and writing extensively about thyroid disease -- including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's Disease, Graves' Disease, nodules, goiter, and thyroid cancer. She is also author of a best-selling book on thyroid disease, Living Well With Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You. . . That You Need to Know, which was published in 2000 by HarperCollins, and is currently in its ninth printing. |
