I'm excited to share with you 31 frequently asked questions patients often have, as written by Mary Shomon on her thyroid-info site! This is a very comprehensive list which includes everything from a broad definition of hyperthyroid, treatment for Grave's Disease, side effects of anti-thyroid drugs, side effects of RAI, and much more. This is not just an excellent place to start for those of you who've recently been diagnosed with Grave's Disease, but Mary Shomon is a foremost author on the topic. I recommend her books (along with several other authors) which you can find in the right-hand column of my blog for reference.
As you read, remember this . . .
- All of the information I write about is based on my personal experience. As I have lived it. I hope the information you find here is useful, informative and educational. Remember, please don't use the information you read here as a substitute for your personal medical care or professional medical advice.
