I didn't find this book terribly useful. I was recently diagnosed with Grave's disease, and it's not something I had come in contact professionally. That meant, I wanted a lot of info, quickly.
I started with the internet, and then was recommended this book. I found the book had a definite bias against RAI. That's all well and good. Some folks don't have that heavy of symptoms, and don't need it. Unfortunately, the author does not spare a chance to rail against the use of RAI, in every section of the book. After a while, it is tiresome to read about it.
If you know nothing about hyperthyroidism, and it's various flavors, this book is good in describing that. It will help you sort your symptoms, and help you ask your doc questions.
The author spends a lot of time on holistic methods. I have to state I have a bias against a lot of natural treatment options. If it helps you, that's great. I have seen a lot of patients spend money and time on things that didn't, though. I suppose it's a good section if you are looking for that, but it wasn't that useful to me, with my very severe symptoms.
There was also a large theme on pregnancy and fertility. That could be useful to folks in that situation, but not something I will ever be worrying about. I can't imagine everyone that has this is on the road to motherhood.
In all, the book is okay, but there is nothing in there you can't google up. If you are already medically savvy, I would say skip it, because there will be nothing in there you don't already know. It is not an unbiased source.
Better than an appointment with your endocrinologist! March 22, 2008

When my symptoms lead to a hyperactive thyroid, I purchased this book. As the tests came back, I was diagnosed with Graves disease. Every person diagnosed should have this book! The information is comprehensive, and is broken down to make the complicated information easily understandable. EXCELLENT! Reading it prior to my first appt. with an endocrinologist, helped me understand what he was saying, and helped me prepare for the appointment and arrive with a list of questions.
A Must-Read for Graves Patients February 26, 2008

I was diagnosed in June 2007 with hyperthyroidism/Graves disease. I immediately started researching, reading everything I could get my hands on. Mary Shoman is a leading patient advocate when it comes to thyroid disease and she is very knowledgable. This book helped educate me about my disease and helped me to know what questions to ask my endocrinologist so that I would have a better understanding of graves disease and how to best treat it. I had my throid removed in November 2007 and now am on thyroid replacement hormone because now I'm hypoththyroid. I bought Mary Shoman's book on hypothyroidism as well as The Thyroid Diet. If you or someone you love has graves disease, I would highly recommend this book.
