Any layperson can use this guide to try and pinpoint some of the symptoms they are experiencing. People are becoming more health conscious and wanting to understand what is going on when they are ill. This is a quick and easy reference guide to get them headed in the right direction. It is user friendly for all and reminds people to consult their physicians with problems as well.

Logicaly listed, enough information to help you decide what you need to do. Doesn't replace your doctor but it is very helpful when you need to know "what could this (symptom)mean.

I like this book as a reference, and I like the way it's organized. First, symptoms are listed alphabetically, from A to Z (Ache All Over to Wrist Pain). After each symptom's name comes a section titled "What Your Symptom Is Telling You," and after that comes "Symptom Relief." Under "Earache," for example, there are nine separate Relief suggestions. When the symptom is deemed serious, the Relief suggestion is to Call Your Doctor, with an explanation why.

Not everyone can use a computer, or afford one at home, so this book is my gift to everyone I can think of. Youngsters can read the finer print and oldsters can learn something new every day. Thanks for providing such a wonderful reference item for our family.
