More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"[A] veritable manual for living well in spite of Endometriosis...a book of immeasurable validation, hope and encouragement."--Heather C. Guidone, Program Director, Center for Endometriosis Care and Director of Operations, Endometriosis Research Center
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.

Format:Paperback
This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding endometriosis and the various medical, sugical and holistic options available. I particularly liked the "Endometriosis Repair Plan" section of the book. If you have endometriosis, or think you might, or know someone who does, this is the best book I have come across on the topic

The best book about endo I've ever had in my hands. It gives relief, hope and strenght.
I hope some day the book will be translated it into other languages for those who don't speak English and have no litrature on the topic in their own language.
