Hypothyroidism In Childhood and Adulthood

Phillips And Roach (2006)

The authors of this book are identical twin sisters who have both suffered from hypothyroidism during childhood and again during adulthood (due to a reduction in their treatment). They have therefore been able to describe experiences of hypothyroidism from a personal perspective. As they both have a Bachelor of Science degree, they were also able to document their experiences from a scientific standpoint.
