DO YOU HAVE LOW THYROID? 
A SELF-ASSESSMENT

The following questionnaire, from Step 1 of the book THYROID POWER: 10 STEPS TO TOTAL HEALTH, provides an initial opportunity for you to determine if your situation is suspicious for low thyroid.

Please note: Step 3 offers a more detailed evaluation to help you and your practitioner determine if low thyroid is your likely diagnosis.

If you have already been diagnosed and/or treated for low thyroid you should still take this little quiz. 

A troubling percentage of treated patients continue to have thyroid-related symptoms, even after their blood tests return to normal. 

They clearly need some of the additional treatments outlined in this book.

   Have unusual fatigue unrelated to exertion?

   Feel chillier than most people, often needing to wear socks to bed?

   Dress in layers because of needing to adjust to various temperatures
      throughout the day? (sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold)

   Have feelings of anxiety that sometimes lead to panic?

   Have trouble with weight, often eating lightly, yet still not losing a
      pound?

   Experience aches and pains in your muscles and joints unrelated to
      trauma or exercise?

   Have increased problems with digestion or allergies?

   Feel mentally sluggish, unfocused, or unusually forgetful, even
      though you're not old enough to have Alzheimer's?

   Know of anyone in your family who has ever had a thyroid problem
      (even yourself at an earlier age)?

   Suffer from dry skin, or are prone to adult acne or eczema?

   Go through periods of depression, and/or lowered sex drive,
      seemingly out of proportion to life events?

   Have diabetes, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, or early graying of hair?
      Does anyone in your family?

   Experience your hair as feeling like straw, dry and easily falling out?

   Experience significant menopausal symptoms, including migraine
      headache, without full relief after taking estrogen?

   Have a history of whiplash or other neck injuries (which may have
      damaged your thyroid)?

   Have significant exposure, now or in the past, to chlorine, bromine, or
      fluoride? (which compete with iodine in your thyroid)

   Feel utterly exhausted by evening, yet have trouble sleeping?

   Do you wake up tired?

If You Answered Yes to Four or More of These Questions, 
You Could be One of Millions of People with an 
Undiagnosed or Under-treated Low Thyroid Problem.

Be sure to get a copy of THYROID POWER, 
and to take the Self-Assessment in Step 3, 
as well as the recommended blood and temperature tests, 
to help determine if low thyroid is your definite diagnosis. 

Once your situation is diagnosed, it can then be treated optimally, using some of the suggestions in the THYROID POWER book.

You could save yourself, and other loved ones, years of frustration and misspent monies, not to mention misdiagnosis, unnecessary invasive medical treatments, discomfort, and lost wages. 

We want you to feel and live at your very best!

Blessings, and best of health!
