      Thyroid Disease

      According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, there are 27 million people in this country with some form of thyroid disease. Approximately half are unaware that they have this condition.

      Having a healthy thyroid has numerous implications for your life, your health, and your happiness. A healthy thyroid makes it easier for you to maintain your body weight, keeps depression at bay, and gives your cells the energy they need for all the activities you do. The proper amount of thyroid hormone is also essential for menstrual regularity, pregnancy, and the delivery of a healthy baby. An unhealthy thyroid, on the other hand, can cause problems as diverse as dry hair, difficulty concentrating, and muscle aches. It can make you perpetually uneasy, constantly exhausted, and sweaty for no good reason. In short, the thyroid gland affects virtually every aspect of your health and well-being.

      That said, you may wonder how anyone could have a thyroid problem and not know it. It’s simple. Many people with thyroid disease are being treated only for their symptoms. So rather than being properly treated for a thyroid problem, they’re being given remedies for specific symptoms. An antidepressant for depression. A sleeping pill for insomnia. Stool softeners for constipation. For many people, treatment for the underlying thyroid disorder could correct all these symptoms.

      That’s why this book is so vital. By reading this material, you will glean the basic medical knowledge you need to talk intelligently with your doctor about your thyroid condition, so that you can ask smart questions, get the right tests, and get the appropriate treatments. Best of all, you will do all this without wading through heavy medical terminology.

      No, it’s not always easy to have a thyroid disorder. But the good news about thyroid disease is that most people are readily treated and go on to live perfectly normal, healthy lives. The key to getting well and staying well is knowledge. By picking up this book, you’ve made a commitment to learn as much as you can about your thyroid. And that’s one giant first step toward better health.

      If you’d like to learn more about thyroid disease, check out The Everything® Guide to Thyroid Disease, available in print (978-1-4405-2853-8) and eBook (978-1-4405-2948-1) formats.

      Thyroid Disease and Children

      Unlike some diseases that tend to occur with age, thyroid disorders do not discriminate against the young. Thyroid disorders can strike children, even newborns, just as easily as they can occur in adulthood. While thyroid disease in
