| I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2001 & had my first surgery that year. Toward the latter part of 2002, I started to be in chronic pain for this disease. I'll make a long story short. (If you want to see the long story, go to my review about Jennifer Lewis' book that I think is medically inaccurate). This book is compelling, thorough and most of all, helpful. It was a book I *SHOULD* have had in 2001. Since dealing with my pain, this book has opened my eyes to therapies I can use, how I can deal with ALL the aspects of this disease, and how it affects my loved ones. This is a great book because it talks to you through a whole person concept--- not just dealing with the reproductive Endometriosis, but it deals with all of the areas surrounding it, too, like emotions, finances, and so on. It doesn't talk down to you, and won't make you feel like you're in a pity party, but gives you tools to try to cope and even recover. Check this book out. You'll be glad you did. |
Better than "The Endometriosis Sourcebook"!

| I highly recommend this book to anyone who's already done their basic endo research, and is ready to move on to how to cope with this awful disease. I have found this book to be better than "The Endometriosis Sourcebook", especially when it comes to teaching useful coping skills. The "Sourcebook" is fine for basic information, just get this when you need more specifics on endo topics, "current" endo information, and are ready to find ways to live with endo, and not suffer with it. Besides, the Endometriosis Association, whose founder Mary Lou Ballweg wrote the "Sourcebook", is funded by grants from TAP Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Lupron, which destroys women's lives daily in the endo fight!! Why support them in their hypocrisy by buying "The Endometriosis Sourcebook"? |
Educational, Encouraging and Empowering!

| This is an outstanding book, containing all the latest (as of the date of publication) on research and treatment, coping tools, fertility, emotional aspects, diet/nutrition, medications, surgery, alternatives and too much more to list. |
The best book for dealing with the emotional side of endo!

Understanding My Disease

| Reviewer: Dianna Lucas, Sacramento |
| I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 15. At this age I did not even come close to understanding what this disease was, or how it was going to effect my future. After reading this book, not only did I understand the health aspect of this disease, but I also learned how to cope with the emotional part of it as well. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to understand this disease. |
