How much does thyroid disease affect the quality of life of those who suffer them? Is this really an important or worthwhile aspect to consider and address? In my belief as a Thyroid Patient Advocate being treated for autoimmune hypothyroidism and having corresponded with 1,000s of other patients with both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid conditions since 2003, I absolutely believe this to be an important aspect.More education has become available in regard to thyroid disease in general over the past two decades and the quality-of-life for treated thyroid patients, deserves as much attention in my opinion as do aspects of diagnosis and treatment. Much of the public lacks understanding in the fact that thyroid disease patients can be greatly affected by their disease with symptoms of thyroid hormone imbalance affecting every part of their bodies and emotions.In this book I look at different aspects of the effects thyroid disease has on its patients and at the importance of better optimized treatment and coping-methods that can help patients regain a better quality-of-life.This book is not intended to be an extensive manual but is intended to contain information most often sought by laypersons on the subject.CHAPTER ONE: Are Thyroid Patients Complainers?CHAPTER TWO: Men Get Thyroid Disease Too!CHAPTER THREE: Famous Thyroid Disease Sufferers are Increasing Public AwarenessCHAPTER FOUR: Oprah Winfrey's Diagnosis of HypothyroidismCHAPTER FIVE: Thyroid Research Every Doctor Should KnowCHAPTER SIX: Thyroid Hormone Replacement and AntidepressantsCHAPTER SEVEN: Stress Management for Thyroid Patients CHAPTER EIGHT: Anxiety and Depression in Thyroid DiseaseCHAPTER NINE: My Experience with Thyroid Related Anxiety and PanicCHAPTER TEN: More of My Personal Thyroid StoryCHAPTER ELEVEN: Treated Hypothyroidism and Weight GainCHAPTER TWELVE: Book Review for "Hypothyroidism Type 2"CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Embracing Your Thyroid Disease?By: Thyroid Patient Advocate - Jim Lowrance, recipient of four editor's choice awards for general health articles.

I am a husband, father, grandfather and lifetime contract salesman, with experience in health writing that began in 2004. I completed theological studies with Liberty University in 1996. I formerly served as editor and forum moderator of Thyroid Health for a major multi-topic content site and as a general health writer for another, where I received Editor's Choice Awards for my articles on health subjects. In 2003 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; "Hashimoto's thyroiditis" being the cause. This autoimmune form of thyroid disease that causes destruction of the thyroid gland resulted in my also developing "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", due to a compromised immune system with severe co-morbid "Adrenal Fatigue". I also suffered severe anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks early into the onset of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashitoxicosis - temporary hyperthyroidism). A common heart murmur I was diagnosed with in my teens called "Mitral Valve Prolapse", also worsened in severity of symptoms, with the development of these other health disorders. My eventual receiving of diagnoses was a difficult process with proper diagnostic testing not being ordered by the first doctors I sought treatment from. These types of issues were inspiration for me to become proactive in my own health care and to self-educate myself on these health disorders, which I have done extensively since 2003. I now enjoy sharing this information with other patients experiencing my same health disorders.
