Product Description

Synopsis
Filled with hundreds of tips, suggestions, and strategies, this guide explains how to develop and maintain exercise and nutrition programs, manage symptoms, determine when to seek medical help, work effectively with doctors, properly use medications and minimise side effects, find community resources, discuss the illness with family and friends, and tailor social activities for particular conditions. Written by six medical professionals, this book encourages an individual approach to the process, with the ultimate goal being greater self-management. Originally based on a five-year study conducted at Stanford University with hundreds of volunteers, this work has grown to include the feedback of medical professionals and thousands of people with chronic conditions all over the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for anyone with any chronic condition, 26 Feb 2002
By jguess@breathemail.net (Doncaster. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is the standard text for our self-help management group. It covers most chronic conditions and is suitable for all people of all ages and abilities. It aims to help you to get and then keep a positive outlook regardless of your condition. Although an American text, all the sections are applicable wherever you live.

4.0 out of 5 stars living a healthy life, 30 May 2008
By Mrs. J. Ferguson "saionya" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is used by the self-management group run by the MS society (not only for MS sufferers). It is on loan to attendees and I was so impressed I decided to buy my own copy. It is American but relevant to UK readers.
