Vitamin B12 deficiency, often caused by pernicious anaemia, can be a devastating condition if left untreated, leading to irreversible nerve damage and disability after years of exhaustion and mental 'fog'.

Martyn Hooper, the founder of the Pernicious Anaemia Society, now brings together vital information about the condition and real-life stories - including his own and those of many members of the Society - that will help sufferers and their friends and families recognize the condition and understand how best to tackle it. In particular, the book draws on the findings of a survey of Society members that give new clarity to the complex issues involved.

'Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism'
by Gordon R B Skinner MD DSc FRCPath FRCO

I must confess that when reading this book, I laughed so much my husband wondered what on earth I was reading! When I told him it was a book about thyroid disease management, he couldn't understand why I was laughing so much. I was laughing because Dr Skinner's quirky sense of humour stands out throughout this book, making a serious subject very readable.

His book covers Hypothyroidism diagnosis, management, difficulties and a very interesting chapter called, "The Faux-Pas of the Decade". He also covers areas that are linked to hypothyroidism such as B12 deficiency and diabetes.

This book is different to any other book you will have read about hypothyroidism and has some very interesting sections – all done with a brilliant sense of humour!
