OKLAHOMA CITY - June 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Doctors in most cases, do not have ample time to educate their thyroid patients about their diseases to the degree they would like, due to time constraints. Additionally, for reasons not fully understood it is often believed that most patients with serious but non-life-threatening diseases, are not interested in learning all of the basic facts about their illnesses. While this may be true of some patients, it is certainly not true of many who rather desire to know as much as possible about a health disorder that will significantly impact their lives and that they will experience lifelong. Most thyroid disorders require lifelong treatment and those who are treated should want to understand why they will have to take a thyroid medication for the rest of their lives. Both change the rate of metabolism in the body (the rate it burns energy from things consumed). Hypothyroid disorders (underactive glands) and hyperthyroid disorders (overactive glands) can seriously alter an affected person's metabolism.
