"A valuable source of information for people with arthritis."
(The Arthritis Society)"Up to date, accurate and comprehensive, telling readers what they need to know.... The [therapeutic recommendations] are thoroughly scientific. The information is clearly and meaningfully written."
(Harry Seftel, Emeritus Professor of Medicine,
University of Witwatersrand, South Africa.)
Part of the successful Your Personal Health Series, Living With Arthritis offers readers the most up-to-date information available on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of this often debilitating condition. Look for segments on fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, osteoporosis, and treatments -- including the new COX-2 specific drugs -- as well as information on:
- how a diagnosis is made; the many different types of arthritis; the symptoms of arthritis, and how to interpret them; arthritis in children; the various treatments for arthritis, from drugs and physiotherapy to surgery; the promising new antibody therapies and COX-2 specific drugs; alternative treatments to conventional medicine.
