Synopsis
Whether it's a common case of acne or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, hundreds of thousands of Americans are affected by chronic disorders. Until now, however, they haven't had a one-stop resource to go to that specifically addressed their condition. This new reference helps them understand their disorder and become a more informed and active participant in their health care. Arranged in a user-friendly format so that readers can find all the relevant information they need at a glance, each entry includes: quality of life considerations, the symptoms and signs of the disorder, diagnostic tests and procedures that that may be necessary, similar conditions that can confuse diagnosis, the causes, available therapies, special considerations for women and the elderly, additional reading, institutions with special expertise in managing the disorder and much more.
As more and more people enroll in managed health care plans, they have to assume more responsibility to learn about their illnesses. This book helps them do that. It is a must for all readers concerned with their health.
