Living Well with Endometriosis: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know (Living Well (Collins))

I have not been diagnosed with anything as of yet.However, I've been suffering pelvic pain since 2007. The doctors at the emergency room have repeatedly told me it's probably endo related.I checked this book out at the library, and liked it so much I bought it.It's very informative and comforting.It's helped me learn more about what may potentially be wrong with me.It's helped me prepare myself for treatments and surgery that may be in the future for me.If you or someone you love is affected by endometriosis...BUY THIS BOOK.You won't regret it.It's written in a way that is easy to understand. It includes many stories from women who are diagnosed with endometriosis, which helps you realize you are most certainly not alone. It has a wonderful section about symptoms and a symptom chart that you can copy, fill out and bring to your doctor. It's a wonderful book and I'm very glad i own it as I am on the road to an official diagnosis, and healing.-Liz

This may be the best book ever written by a human being. Next to the Bible and Shakespeare, there are few better books. This is one of the first books I ever read on the chronic pain problems around the world, and how to get over them. Her work with people suffering from chronic pain is an inspiration to writers everywhere. The stories of people being misdiagnosed as "simply depressed" was insightful. It is a clear, and easy to read book. Yet it has many detailed facts, and interviews. I was suffering from chronic pain greatly when I read this, and her chapters on herbal vitamins to take helped me greatly! I was very moody before, and this helped without drugs! Her tips on how to write about your pain to help get outside your pain very insightful. I loved this book, and I think it is a great work for anyone dealing with chronic pain.

I you have endometriosis, but this book. Part of it is very technical and it helped me understand endo in a way I hadn't before. The other part is recommendations for diet changes, info on current medical treatment and the pros and cons, and personal stories. I implemented the diet, and my pain started going away after a couple of weeks, and now I've been pain free for almost two years now. The diet is restrictive, but after about six months of being strict, I relaxed on it and haven't suffered a recurrence of pain.

This is a great resource for people who are wanting more information about endometriosis. If you have done a lot of research online, there are going to be a lot of things that you have already read, but you should still finds some things that are new information. The author decided to write a book because she was going through so much as most of us do when we are starting out struggling with endo. Great tool.

This would have been better just borrowed from the library. This book is not an essential for your endometriosis library. Worth a read, but nothing that I have consulted again.

Must read

I really like this book! I have found some interesting new information that noone has told me before! I've endometriosis for 3 year now and this has helped me out a lot!

I think this is a great book for anyone who might suspect they have endo or was just diagnosed with it. It was a great read lots of info!

This book was such a relief to find, it's really helped me get my head around my diagnosis. Highly recommended.

Lol

I cannot recommend this book highly enough, the information is great, helpful and clearly written. I have recommended it to my osteopath, who was also very impressed. If you only buy one self help book on this subject, this would be a great option.

This book is good but a little wordy for my liking.Would’ve preferred something that’s straight to the point not one that beats around the bush

This book provides in depth information, it may appear too medical on first glance but the glossary helps translate the biological terms used. I would recommend this book definitely, I wish it was around when I was first diagnosed. It arrived well packaged before the expected delivery date so a very satisfactory and straightforward purchase 5*
