My Story: A Photographic Essay on Life with Multiple Sclerosis20 reviews
Amelia Davis

Demos Medical Publishing, 2004

Review for My Story
I was fortunate to have been photographed by Amelia Davis in her new book about Multiple Sclerosis. Amelia traveled all over the country interviewing physically challenged individuals and their care givers. In doing so, she composed an enlightening yet very touching collection of stories, all through the eye of her camera. Her choice of black and white photos added another dimension and increased ...

The best starting point for people with RA
At age 30, after being a college athlete and in "perfect" health, my daughter was diagnosed with RA. We were devastated!! Two years later, she was on Enbrel, methotrexate and other meds for her condition--things looked pretty hopeless. After much research into the disease, we decided we wouldn't just sit around and let the disease take it's course. Researching on Amazon's site, we came across ...

Michael S., MD Sinel, William W., PhD Deardorff

For Dummies, 1999

Solid Advice, Easy-to-Read Format
This book is laying on the floor next to my bed. Why? I do the exercises every morning, and refer to the chapter to make sure I don't miss any.

I especially like the integrated mind-body approach, the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Fibromyalgia Advocate27 reviews
Devin Starlanyl

New Harbinger Publications, 1999

This book made a huge difference
Dr. Starlanyl was way ahead of her time when she wrote this book. I actually read this in 2006 after 4 months of extremely painful and useless chiropractic "treatments." Frustrated and in severe pain, I picked up this book and learned a few things I didn't already know. The main one being the difference between Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Trigger point therapy (TPT) is ...

The Myth of Osteoporosis35 reviews
Gillian Sanson

MCD Century Publications, 2003

A sleeper has awakened
When I was told I had osteopenia my (female) doctor handed me a prescription and a tri-fold pamphlet and told me to take calcium. When I went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription I asked the pharmacist to go over the potential side-effects of the drug with me. He looked at me like I had two heads. That was my introduction to becoming a "victim" of "bone disease". I went home and began to ...

Sandy Blaine

Rodmell Press, 2005

Kneed help?
Written by a yoga teacher who fixed her own knee pain with the help of yoga, I found this book very easy to use. Here's a few reasons why I liked it: -it's not too long (its smaller than I pictured, 95 pages, but that was fine with me -the idea here is to help your knees out by strengthening what's weak and loosening what's tight -this is accomplished through yoga poses which you hold for a ...

Realism: A Study in Human Structural Anatomy11 reviews
Carol F. Edwards, Brenda A. Grosenick

Prentice Hall, 2008

This book is Amazing!!
I have used my REALISM book countless times as a student of anatomy, and as a practicing massage therapist. The outstanding images in REALISM capture the detail of each bone intricately and each muscle so clearly. As a student learning origins and insertions of muscles this book was invaluable, and as I educate my clients about their own bodies; explaining where muscles are or why somethings ... 		  
  







  
  
Scoliosis Surgery: The Definitive Patient's Reference16 reviews
David K. Wolpert

Highest recommendation!
What a blessing! I read this book over and over and over--so many times, prior to my surgery--and also referred to it afterward! I even took it with me to the hospital. It contains a wealth of information for scoliosis patients and their loved ones. I felt calm and at peace (relatively!) heading in to my surgery "adventure," both due to my faith and because I felt so well informed. I also ... 		  
  







  
  
Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff16 reviews
Jim Johnson

Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2007

Well, it worked
I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what counted. Well, posture and losing weight solved that problem. Had a completely different feeling problem. Went back after ...

Inside Fibromyalgia With Mark J. Pellegrino, MD16 reviews
Mark J. Pellegrino, David Shumick

Anadem Publishing, 2001

My Number One Choice on the Suject
The best book I've found on Fibromyalgia. Who better to write on fm than a medical doctor who both specializes in fm and actually has the disease (yes, disease) himself? As a new fm patient, I found this book to be the most comprehensive, medically sound, and practical for helping to diagnose and treat fm. It even helped with my diagnosis. Another good source is "Living Well with Chronic Fatigue ...
