This extensive resource, on the subject of hypothyroidism, contains 22 chapters. With over 20,000 words dedicated to all aspects of hypothyroid conditions, their symptoms, diagnoses and treatments. I discuss blood tests and other diagnostic methods for detecting under-functioning thyroid glands, problematic symptoms experienced by "treated hypothyroid patients" and aspects of improving and optimizing thyroid hormone replacement therapy . I have combined two of my most popular hypothyroidism books, into one comprehensive resource. The content of these combined written works, is formatted for easy to follow reading and in language intended for the average layperson thyroid patient I sincerely believe this resource can benefit hypothyroid patients, who are seeking to better understand this metabolic disease that will in the vast majority of cases, require lifelong treatment. SECTION ONE: "A Complete Look at Hypothyroidism" (5 chapters - originally published in eBook form, in year 2008) SECTION TWO: "The Best Darn Hypothyroidism eBook!" (17 chapters - originally published in eBook form, in year 2010)
About the Author: I am a husband, father, grandfather and lifetime contract salesman, with experience in health writing that began in 2004. I completed theological studies with Liberty University in 1996. I formerly served as editor and forum moderator of Thyroid Health for a major multi-topic content site and as a general health writer for another, where I achieved Editor's Choice Awards for my articles on health subjects. In 2003 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; "Hashimoto's thyroiditis" being the cause. This autoimmune form of thyroid disease that causes destruction of the thyroid gland resulted in my also developing "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", due to a compromised immune system with severe co-morbid "Adrenal Fatigue". I also suffered severe anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks early into the onset of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashitoxicosis). A common, benign heart murmur I was diagnosed with in my teens called "Mitral Valve Prolapse", also worsened in severity of symptoms, with the development of these other health disorders. My eventual receiving of diagnoses was a difficult process with proper diagnostic testing not being ordered by the first doctors I sought treatment from. These types of issues were inspiration for me to become proactive in my own health care and to self-educate myself on these health disorders, which I have done extensively since 2003. I now enjoy sharing this information with other patients experiencing my same health disorders.
