Product Review

How often have you wished you could chat to someone who suffers from the same illness or complaint as you do? That is exactly the experience which this book offers to those afflicted with lymphedema, a common malady which goes unrecognised in a shockingly high proportion of cases.

In clear, accessible language, the author explains the background to the illness, what the specific dangers are, what you can do about it if you have it, and how you can get yourself treated without having to remortgage your home. As a patient who has consulted medical text books but refrained from swallowing them, he provides a refreshingly frank account of just what it is like to live with the disease and also to have it misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and even worse.
