Wondering What's Up With Your Thyroid? Half of all the people in the world have thyroid problems. You'd think with a problem that widespread, medicine would be Johnny-on-the-spot to diagnose and treat it, but you would be wrong. Medical schools don't seem to know how the thyroid works, and their teaching reflects that. Finding a doctor who understands the thyroid is hard. Very, very hard. Adding to the problem, thyroid tests are notoriously inaccurate. Just because tests say you're fine doesn't mean you are. If you want any chance to feel good again, you need to take control of your own health. Things You Need to Know About Your Thyroid (but nobody tells you) explains how the thyroid works, the symptoms to look for, diseases caused by untreated thyroid problems, discussions you'll encounter at the doctor's office, tests you can do yourself, how to love your thyroid, etc. It also has Bette Dowdell's story so you know she's not just talking theory. She offers "walk through the storm" knowledge. This little book is a gold mine of information. If fatigue haunts your days and too many body parts don't seem to work right, you want this book. In fact, if your health isn't tip-top, A#1, you should read this book. As the title says, this is stuff nobody tells you.
