Thyroid Success Stories
So much of what I cover here at the website focuses on the problems -- problems with doctors who don't listen, or thyroid drugs that don't solve all your problems, or symptoms and side effects of thyroid disease. It seems we often focus on learning from our own and other's mistakes and problems.

But an important aspect of healing -- true healing from within -- is the belief that there are solutions, and there is success, and that healing is possible.

  • So, what better way to focus on healing, and to get ideas on how we can all work towards better health and healing, than to hear the success stories from those people with thyroid disease who have a positive story to tell!

    So, read about your fellow thyroid patients and the solutions they've found. I hope they offer your the encouragement, hope and inspiration that they offer me! And be sure to check back frequently for new stories added regularly!

    New Thyroid Book

    Finally, I also have a new book coming out in March of 2000, Living Well With Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctors Don't Tell You...That You Need to Know, from HarperCollins/Avon's WholeCare Line. The book provides in-the-trenches, practical patient-oriented advice on how to find the right doctor to diagnose and treat various forms of hypothyroidism, the drugs for hypothyroidism you and your doctor may not know about, fertility and successful pregnancy with hypothyroidism, alternative therapies for hypothyroidism and its symptoms and side effects, combatting weight gain and successful weight loss, depression, and much more. It's a complete manual of living well for anyone with hypothyroidism, whether due to congenital hypothyroidism, thyroid surgery, radiation, or autoimmune disease. If you'd like advance notification of the book, send me an email and I'll be sure you receive personal notification from me when the book is coming out. You can also find out more information, read the book's table of contents, and get information on how to order in advance
