Product Description
A complete guide to the side–effects and treatments – both conventional and alternative – for endometriosis, from a respected name in the field who also suffers from endometriosis. Endometriosis is a debilitating reproductive and immunological disease that affects 7–10 million American women each year. The disease occurs when the same kind of tissue that lines the walls of the uterus grows outside the uterus in the pelvic cavity or some other area of the body, usually significantly affecting the woman's fertility and often causing pelvic pain. And as with any condition that affects fertility, the results are often emotional and psychological as well as physical. As someone who suffers from endometriosis, and who has connections to a wide network of healthcare professionals, Morris is the perfect person to guide sufferers through diagnosis, treatment and living well with the condition. Like the previous titles in our successful Living Well series, this book will offer a holistic approach to living with the disease. The author will offer strategies for coping with the psychological aspects of endometriosis, including how best to tell others about the condition; treatment options including alternative and complementary treatment plans; dealing with infertility; and weighing the hysterectomy option. The author will draw on her relationship with fellow sufferers as well as medical professionals to help readers, making this the most comprehensive guide to endometriosis available. Kerry–Ann Morris was diagnosed with endometriosis in 1999. Since then she has become one of the most active members of the endometriosis community, and has started an outreach website for the disease. She has relationships with many fellow sufferers and experts in the medical community, making her the perfect author for a book on holistic treatment.

Thorough Beyond Expectations by Carrie Caskey (Louisville, KY)

Having been diagnosed with Endo in 2008 (but having symptoms for the majority of my life), I was shocked to realize how much of the other issues I've been experiencing are closely linked to endo: not sleeping, chronic fatigue, etc. I had no idea the impact of this disease on every part of my body until reading this book. I know longer feel crazy for being so sick. Endo is a very serious disease. Also, I found it amazing how much information was packed inside. The author covered all types of treatments from surgery, drugs, vitamins, minerals. She really simplified it by putting together one amazing resource. To top it all off, intertwined throughout are amazing blurbs from actual women dealing with endo. I feel empowered now to stop being controled by this disease and reach out to continue learning and be informed and involved with my treatment. This is a must have and long overdue resource for anyone suffering from this horrible disease.

Having just been diagnosed with Endometriosis, I can say firsthand that this book is both hopeful and informative. Including information about treatment options, how to talk to your male partner and family members about living with endometriosis, facts/statistics, and much more; this book is extremely helpful if you are new to living with endo or have a bit of experience with it. Many of the pages include real personal stories about other women with endo and they provide hope for those of us just diagnosed. I have just finished skimming through the book for the information I was looking for and I am planning to go back to the "dog-eared" pages to reread for more info. I don't think I could have found a more consise and helpful book that covers such an array of topics related to endo. I highly reccommend this book to family members and those diagnosed with endo as well as professionals who might seek to become empathetic with those of us who have endo.
