Product Description
Book Description
More than five million women in the United States and Canada suffer the physical and emotional pain of chronic endometriosis. Despite this number, endometriosis is a disease that is largely unknown to the general public. Coping with Endometriosis educates readers about this disorder, which affects a woman's reproductive and immune system, causing painful growths, bleeding, and often infertility. In addition to the latest research on treatment of endometriosis, this book addresses the psychological and emotional concerns brought on by its diagnosis.

Too basic and broad.,
This review is from: Coping With Endometriosis (Mass Market Paperback)
This book has a good explanation of what endometriosis for the person who is unfamiliar with the disease. However, I would not recommend this book to a woman who was trying to cope. I found Coping With Endometriosis to be too basic and broad in its suggestions for relief from endometriosis pain. The chapters about Anger, Fear, Depression, etc. are too brief to properly address the affects of living with this disease, and often the advice is a tad condescending in its repeated "change your attitude" mantra.The basic message is that you're stuck with endometriosis, and unless you're willing to subject yourself to hormone therapies that aren't 100% safe or effective, you're stuck with repeated surgeries, and unbearable pain.

Best Buy for your Dollar!,
By Lola Pantone (Superior Twp, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coping With Endometriosis (Mass Market Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2001 & had my first surgery that year. Toward the latter part of 2002, I started to be in chronic pain for this disease. I'll make a long story short. (If you want to see the long story, go to my review about Jennifer Lewis' book that I think is medically inaccurate). This book is compelling, thorough and most of all, helpful. It was a book I *SHOULD* have had in 2001. Since dealing with my pain, this book has opened my eyes to therapies I can use, how I can deal with ALL the aspects of this disease, and how it affects my loved ones. This is a great book because it talks to you through a whole person concept--- not just dealing with the reproductive Endometriosis, but it deals with all of the areas surrounding it, too, like emotions, finances, and so on. It doesn't talk down to you, and won't make you feel like you're in a pity party, but gives you tools to try to cope and even recover. Check this book out. You'll be glad you did.

Understanding My Disease,
By Dianna Lucas (Sacramento) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coping With Endometriosis (Mass Market Paperback)
I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 15. At this age I did not even come close to understanding what this disease was, or how it was going to effect my future. After reading this book, not only did I understand the health aspect of this disease, but I also learned how to cope with the emotional part of it as well. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to understand this disease.
