Has your friend, family member, spouse, partner or someone else you know been diagnosed with hypothyroidism - also known as underactive thyroid disease?

Has it affected your relationship?

Frustrated that there isn’t enough resources and information out there for the loved ones of those with hypothyroidism, Rachel Hill of The Invisible Hypothyroidism began writing articles on her website for them, before also writing a dedicated book with her husband.

The first resource for friends, family, and other loved ones of thyroid patients, this book is a comprehensive and much-needed tool which compiles all the information you need in order to ensure your relationship doesn’t suffer at the hands of this "invisible illness".

A book written by award-winning thyroid patient advocate Rachel Hill - founder of The Invisible Hypothyroidism - and her husband and long-term partner Adam Gask, it provides both perspectives of a thyroid condition diagnosis: the patient and their loved one.

Included in You, Me and Hypothyroidism:

• Easy-to-understand information on what hypothyroidism is and how it affects your spouse, friend, or family member
• Ways in which you can best support the person you know with hypothyroidism to get them back to good health
• Information and practical advice on fertility issues, mental health, changes in sex drive, managing social events, dietary changes, housework, and more, when your loved one has hypothyroidism
• Support for your own mental health and well-being while supporting someone else
• A list of resources (websites, books) for further reference

Although hypothyroidism can certainly feel like an unwelcome third wheel in a relationship, it needn’t be forever. Learn not only how to overcome this change to both of your lives, but also how it can, instead, strengthen your relationship.
