Living Well With Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You. . . That You Need to Know was published in March of 2001. The book is the only patient-written, patient-oriented book that tells the real story of hypothyroidism -the risks, the real symptoms, how to get diagnosed, finding proper treatment, and going on to enjoy good health that lasts a lifetime. "Living Well With Hypothyroidism" is a guide to good health for anyone who is hypothyroid, whether due to an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto's Disease, radioactive iodine, surgery, or antithyroid drug treatments for Graves' Disease and hyperthyroidism, or surgery for nodules or thyroid cancer.
Here's the information you'd need to get the book.

Please note that I'm not personally shipping or selling the book. But you can buy your copies at a bookstore in your area, or order from an online bookstore.
AT YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORES
The book is available at the larger chain bookstores nearly everywhere in the U.S. You should find it fairly easy to get a copy at your local Barnes and Noble, Border's, BooksaMillion, B. Dalton, Bookstop, and other chain stores, for example. If they are sold out, or don't have copies in stock, any bookstore will be happy to special order you a copy. Just give them the title, author and ISBN information, and ask them to order a copy for you. Usually it takes about a week or so for a special order to come in at most chain bookstores.
Smaller local and independent bookstores who may not have a copy in stock can order on for you. To order, you'll need to give them the title, author and ISBN information. To help fellow hypothyroid sufferers who may not be aware of the book yet, you might even mention to the bookstore how important the issue is, and how millions of people are hypothyroid, and why you feel it's important for them to get a few copies and display them.
ORDERING ONLINE
The easiest way to buy the book online is to order your copy for delivery now from Amazon.com.
Amazon sells the book for $11.20. Shipping seems to run around $4 for regular delivery. If you've never purchased a book online before, it's very easy to do, and extremely safe. I've been buying books by credit card for four years from Amazon, and have never had anything but fast service, quick delivery of my order, and safe processing of my information. The book has been a top seller at Amazon for more than two years, and is frequently in their Hot 100 Bestsellers List.
In addition to Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble Online (http://www.barnesandnoble.com) and many other online stores have the book available as well.
UNITED KINGDOM / EUROPE
I'm not sure they've started stocking the book in UK and European bookshops, but until they do, but you can always ask the store to order it for you. Online, Amazon UK does have the book available for immediate shipping. Start at http://www.amazon.co.uk and search on my last name, "Shomon" or you can click HERE and go right to the book.
CANADA, MEXICO, SOUTH AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, AFRICA, ASIA (except UK/EUROPE)
Amazon.com will ship to almost any country in the world, so you can always order online from them. Just click HERE to go to the book's page, or if you don't want to order online, your local bookstore should be able to order a copy for you. Again, make sure you give them the title, author and ISBN number.
ORDER BY PHONE
If you would prefer to order by phone, or aren't comfortable ordering online and want to talk to a live person, you can easily order by phone in the U.S. with a credit card at a wonderful nationally-known independent Washington, DC area bookstore, Politics and Prose, by calling them toll-free at 800-722-0790. Politics and Prose was voted a "Publisher's Weekly's" Independent Bookstore of the Year, and is one of my favorite bookstores personally as well. To order, you'll need to give them the title, author and ISBN number. Again, their toll-free number is 800-722-0790, or regular phone is 202-364-1919
