Get Answers, Expert Advice, & Peace of Mind

If you’re one of the 20 million Americans with thyroid disease, you deserve relief and answers. Fortunately, now you can get the expert medical advice you need—from one of American’s most trusted thyroid authorities.

In The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Thyroid Disorders, Dr. Mario Skugor, a physician on the forefront of thyroid health, offers complete information on a variety of thyroid diseases and a host of treatment options. He offers the same medical advice he shares with his patients, which will help you improve the quality of your life. Discover how to:

  • Recognize symptoms of a possible thyroid disorder, including fatigue, changes in weight, sweating, and trouble sleeping, and learn when you should be tested.
  • Understand the different tests and treatment options, and how to make sure you get the right drug and the right dose to treat your condition.
  • Take action when you find a lump. Understand the difference between a nodule and a goiter and how each is treated.
  • Become knowledgeable about thyroid cancers, especially the critical importance of early detection and treatment.
  • Get the facts on thyroid controversies, including using thyroid hormones for weight loss, treating depression, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Thyroid Disorders, January 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Thyroid Disorders (Cleveland Clinic Guides) (Paperback)
Mario Skugor, MD, and Jessee Bryant Wilder have compiled an easy to understand guide to thyroid disorders.

The handy ten chapter format makes it easy for the reader to select those chapters which interest her.

Chapter 1 explains the function of the thyroid.

Chapters 2-5 are devoted to underactive and overactive thyroids and their treatment.

Chapter 6 describes the tests for thyroid disease.

Chapter 7 details nodules and goiters.

Chapter 8 discusses thyroid cancers.

Chapter 9 focuses on pregnancy and the thyroid.

And Chapter 10 discusses controversies in thyroid treatment and diagnosis. Weight gain/loss and nutritional supplements are also explained.

The chapters on Hypothyroidism helped me understand both when to take my medication and which medications are considered effective. It also made me aware of the dangers of changing drugs. I now know what to do if I forget to take my meds (something my physician had never mentioned).

This Cleveland Clinic guide is clearly written and addresses the issues that concern a thyroid patient. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I bought this book for a friend who had many questions about the condition of her thyroid. All symptoms can be explained here, in lay person's terms. The book helped my friend understand this condition well enough to understand her doctor, as well as even make suggestions regarding her treatment. Highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Probably okay for general knowledge, August 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Thyroid Disorders (Cleveland Clinic Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book to learn more specifically about celiac disease and hypothyroidism and didn't learn anything new. It is probably a good general book about thyroid problems, but didn't have the information I was seeking.
