Getting to Know Your Thyroid

In this part, we explain what your thyroid does, why it’s vitally important to your health, and the ways it can go wrong. We also provide a checklist of thyroid disease symptoms so you can decide whether you have reason to suspect a thyroid problem.

Chapter 3 sheds light on various debates about thyroid diagnosis and treatment. And Chapter 4 guides you in finding a great doctor, and in knowing what to expect from your office visits.
