unlocks the mystery

This is an excellent book for unlocking the mystery of how Thyroid illness occurs and how thyroid hormones are connected with other hormones and symptoms in the body. The problem I had with the book was sorting out Hypo versus Hyper symptoms, being in a groggy state from the disease itself--with fluctuating levels of T4 and T3. This of course is not a trouble to the unaffected reader, however I expect I may not be the only one struggling to sort through the information. I do feel the information is excellent and very supportive of all types of thyroid problems. A very complete book..I just had trouble with the organization.

Helpful for symptoms of depression etc.

The Thyroid Solution is a great resource. I purchased it after my test results came back "normal". It was helpful to know that you can have a sub-clinical case, even when tests are normal. Dr. Arem provides patient examples throughout the book which are also helpful.

Part I deals with general information on hypo and hyperthyroidism. I especially was interested in the chapters "Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Swings" and " Thyroid Hormone as an Antidepressant".

Part II deals with the emotional and physical interactions. He has several small "questionnaires" to take to weed out other possible syndromes such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hypoglycemia and Fibromyalgia.

Part III has 3 chapters on Woman's thyroid problems; PMS, menopause, infertility, miscarriage and postpartum depression.

Part IV goes into diagnosing and treating thyroid disorders. One chapter is an in depth discussion about thyroid tests and treatment options. He does discuss the "controversial" natural hormone with T4 and T3. This part also discusses thyroid eye disease and cancer. The last chapter is eight steps to promote a better understanding of thyroid, mind, and mood.

Dr. Arem's Thyroid Solution is a comprehensive resource on thyroid disorders and the resulting symptoms.

The Thyroid Solution:A Mind-Body Program

I loved this book. I re-read it twice; made notes, and have informed many family members and friends with thyroid disease that this is a must read! As a patient, who had a hard time finding someone to diagnose my own hypothyroidism to begin with, it empowered me, to not give up. Even after my diagnosis fifteen years ago and subsequent Synthroid treatment, I have never felt "well". You start thinking that you must be crazy, if everyone says your hormone levels are fine...you must be fine! Finally, Dr. Arem explains why you may still not feel well after traditional Synthroid treatment, and he gives specific treatment options. Dr. Arem also addresses other diseases, that can occur in addition to thyroid disease, that are often overlooked by other physicians as "typical thyroid complaints". This book is good for people who have just been recently diagnosed with thyroid disease, as well as those of us who have been dealing with the disease for many years. And it will help to enlighten family members who live with thyroid patients.

Fantastic book

If you could only afford to buy one book on Thyroid disease - this should be it! Now that it is also available in paperback, I will be buying two more (for my son & dauhter w/hypo).

This book answers just about every question you have about TD, plus some you hadn't even thought of. If you, or someone you know, has Thyroid disease - this is a MUST buy!

The Thyroid Solution

This is definitely the best book about how the thyroid disfunctions, and the medical solutions that can make life nearly normal again. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and fortunately, have agreat doctor that uses the T4 - T4 thyroid replacement regimen that Dr. Arem discusses in this book. This book, ulike many others, answers the multitude of questions about the multiple symtoms related to hypothyroisim. I highly recommend this book!
