This book contains 6 of the best "Question and Answer" discussions that I have had with fellow thyroid myopathy and neuropathy patients, over the years (approx. 3,900 words in length). The people who asked me these questions, came to know me through the many thyroid disease books and articles I have published since year-2005. They were also aware of the fact that I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and myopathy, as a result of thyroid disease and nutritional deficiencies and that I have been receiving ongoing treatment for them. While these discussions are mainly about symptoms and diagnoses of metabolic muscle and nerve diseases, treatments for them are also discussed. For more information on treatments, see my book titled: "Neuropathy and Myopathy in Treated Thyroid Disease". Certainly patients should look to their doctors for direction and advice, first and foremost but it can bring additional comfort when one can relate to another patient who has actually "been there". Experiencing significant, negative changes in nerves and muscles of the body, can be a scary thing. It can be very helpful to hear from someone else who has experienced the same fears and struggles, that these conditions can bring. While the information contained in the Q & A that follows, is not as extensive as one can find within a medical journal, it still touches on many of the concerns that arise within thyroid patients, who experience symptoms of chronic nerve pain and muscle weakness. It is my hope that this general informational resource proves to be helpful and educational to those who obtain it. - Jim Lowrance TABLE OF CONTENTS: INTRODUCTION (pages 3 and 4) QUESTION & ANSWER 1 (pages 5-7) QUESTION & ANSWER 2 (pages 8-10) QUESTION & ANSWER 3 (pages 11-13) QUESTION & ANSWER 4 (pages 14-16) QUESTION & ANSWER 5 (pages 17-19) QUESTION & ANSWER 6 (pages 20-23) About the Author (pages 25 and 25)

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 achieved 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 later developed myopathy, peripheral neuropathy, an arthritic spine and diabetes. I also suffered severe anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks early into the onset of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashitoxicosis). A common, benign 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.
