The Thyroid Solution : A Mind-Body Program for Beating Depression and Regaining Your Emotional andPhysical Health

Rating:
Summary: excellent
Review: The Thyroid Solution is the most comprehensive written work I have seen on this subject. Dr. Arem's detailed lists of symptoms make it easy to recognize thyroid problems by showing the myriad of related symptoms categorized. His book proved that standard thyroid tests can be inconclusive and he describes the testing he uses to uncover "hidden" thyroid illness. I am one of the blessed folks who was able to become a patient of Dr. Arem's. After years of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and depression, I am now being helped and feel much better. It was not "all in my head"! It's in my thyroid! Thanks Dr. Arem

Summary: Luckily my new Doc read this...
Review: I am so furtunate that my new Doc. read this book and was able to accurately diagnose my hypothyroid. I had suffered for two years because of a Doc. who didn't know how to read the lab report.

Summary: PRICELESS INFORMATION!
Review: I absolutely, highly recommend this book to anyone & everyone who has, or even suspects that they have a thyroid problem. For once, here's a doctor who knows what he's talking about, & is extremely thorough in explaining everything collectively instead of just focusing on one piece of the puzzle, as most doctors do. If you're having health problems, & don't know where to turn, start by buying this book: there's stuff in here that you won't get from the common Endocrinologist--take it from me, I know, I've been there!

Summary: What a relief!
Review: Dr. Arem's insightful and compassionate approach brought tears to my eyes. At long last, a doctor who has the courage and vision to take a deeper look at the effect of thyroid disease not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically. This book not only validates my experience with Grave's disease, but offers gentle support, clear information and intelligent options. Thanks Dr. Arem!

Summary: My Dilemma
Review: I have been suffering from an under active thyroid since the age of 12. Now that I am 17 I still have not been told about the real "facts" that concern me by my General Practitioner. All I am told to do is, to continue with my daily dose of thyroxine, but because I am so fed up I only take it about once or twice a week. What is happening to me is still the question I have to ask and still needs to be answered. Please contact me on my E-Mail address for any comments that you may have to boost my confidence. [e-mail]

Summary: A MUST for people with Thyroid disorders
Review: I have been on Thyroid hormones for over one half of my life and this last winter I got more and more tired and my heart was just pounding so hard. I felt achy all over and finally went the the emergency room. My TSH was 26. My family doctor, Rita Snow spent maybe 5 minutes with me and just increased my Thyroid dose and sent me home. I attempted to tell her how I couldn't sleep at night, was short of breath, gaining weight, and depressed and she just said take this new dose and some sleeping pills. I didn't understand how a low Thyroid could cause heart palpatations and PVC,s and she didn't have any time to explain it to me. When I realized I wasn't getting any answers from my doctor, I ordered this wonderful book and have studied it from cover to cover. I also have been to see an Endocrinologist who did spend the time explaining my condition to me as well as answering questions for me. He didn't treat me as someone who didn't need answers and made me feel like I was part of the treatment. I am feeling better daily and a large part of it is thanks to this great book. Read it as soon as you can if you have a thyroid disorder.

Summary: A MUST READ book for anyone with a thyroid disorder!
Review: This book should be given out to every patient diagnosed with a thyroid disorder! Dr. Arem explains everything from the possible causes of the disease to many different forms of treatment.

Summary: Empowering, clear and oh so timely!
Review: Thank you Dr. Arem for bringing clarity and sense back into my life! This book has revealed so much to me that I no longer feel isolated, ashamed and disempowered. I will recommend this book to everyone I know and bring to my endo as a "present"! I have been silently suffering through the agitation, the anxiety and the physical pains all the time thinking it was all in my head and self fabricated when in fact these are all part and parcel of this disorder! TD has been one rollercoaster ride I didn't sign up for and having read this book I am so much better prepared to face the challenges, my doctor, my family, and my poor husband! I am not going insane and I don't have to suffer any more! Thank you again Dr. Arem for opening the door to my wellness!

Summary: Should have had this book 20 years ago
Review: After having suffered with a thyroid condition for the last 20+ years, it is good to finally have information that should have been available to me in order to understand the seriousness and long reaching affects of thyroid disease. It is good to finally know that I have not been alone and "not really crazy". Thank you Dr Arem for this valuable information.I think now I will be able to get the help I really need to feel good again.

Summary: Excellent book for the thyroid patient and their family.
Review: This book explained EVERYTHING. Every paragraph could have been written about me. I was so happy to find that I wasn't alone or imagining the symptoms I was experiencing. Dr. Arem explains it in laymans terms so everyone can understand. It is a great book to take with you to the doctor's office to help enlighten your physician also. The who, what and whys of treatments and their effects are all explained in this book. If you have TD or know someone close to you who does, this is the book to read.
