Book Description
Endometriosis is a debilitating reproductive and immunological disease that strikes between 7 and 11 million American women each year, significantly affecting fertility and often causing severe pelvic pain. The results are often emotional and psychological as well as physical.
As someone who suffers from endometriosis, Kerry-Ann Morris is the perfect person to guide sufferers through diagnosis, treatment, and living well with the condition. She offers strategies for coping with the psychological aspects of endometriosis, including how best to tell others about the condition; treatment options including alternative and complementary plans; dealing with infertility; and weighing the hysterectomy option.
With stories from endometriosis patients around the world, this vital guide will provide you with the information that you need to become aware and informed, as well as provide hope and encouragement.

This book is great...,
By utah32 "k828" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Well With Endometriosis: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know (Paperback)
This book had the most information of all endometriosis books I have read. It describes the symptoms really well and sets out up to date treatment options. It has a very empathetic eye towards endometriosis sufferers and made me feel not alone and like it was not 'all in my head'. This book is easy to flip through for information and not large in size, which makes it easy to read and take with you.

A Must-Have for all Concerned with the Disease,
By Heather "Heather" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Well With Endometriosis: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know (Paperback)
While there are many books about Endometriosis available on the market, none have lent such a voice to the global Endo community. This is truly a collaborative effort, featuring the best from both the professional and lay communities within its pages. Author Kerry-Ann Morris is to be commended on her work. This book will benefit every woman or girl with the disease - as well as their loved ones and doctors alike. *Everyone* concerned with Endometriosis must add this book to their library.

Great Resource!,
By A. Meyer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Well With Endometriosis: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for anyone suffering with endometriosis. I found it to be easy to read and understand. I like the fact that the book not only contains the medical facts but also contains real life stories from women who have the disease. These real life stories really helped put my own situation into perspective and provided me much comfort-it really helps to know I am not alone.I recommend this to both women who have been recently diagnosed or long time sufferers of the disease like myself. I so wish this book had been around 12 years ago when I was diagnosed. This book alone has given me more information about the disease than some of the medical professionals I have talked about. Kerry Ann really did her research and the result is wonderful! 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful

A good starting point,
By Ali Crehan Feeney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Well With Endometriosis: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know (Paperback)
Recently diagnosed with endometriosis, I went searching for a book that would help me get a handle on the disease. This is a good reference guide, giving clear, concise and up-to-date information. It's well-balanced, providing information about medical and alternative options; it does not advocate one particular course of action but aims to educate the reader about the options that are out there. I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend the book highly.
