The definitive guide for the more than twenty million Americans suffering from chronic thyroid problems or thyroid cancerBeth Ann Ditkoff, M. D., and Paul Lo Gerfo, M. D., two leading thyroid surgeons, identify the common symptoms of thyroid disease-weight gain or loss, fatigue, nervousness, and sleeplessness-and provide advice on diagnostic tests, treatments, medications, and self-help strategies. Every person with thyroid disease can be helped with proper diagnosis and treatment. Most thyroid problems are chronic, so patients need information to cope with a disease that will likely be with them for life.
