Book Description

What to Do When the Doctor Says It's November 1, 2003
Endometriosis can disrupt women's lives. It is responsible for chronic, sometimes crippling pain, hundreds of thousands of missed work hours, and in its most extreme cases, infertility.

There is hope! Thomas L. Lyons, M.D., whose philosophy is to "treat the patient, not the disease," has developed leading edge surgical techniques to address endometriosis.

Dr. Lyons demystifies this puzzling disease, covering issues from fertility to dietary concerns, alternative treatments to surgical options but the main focus is on the key issue of pain management for this potentially debilitating disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Informative for any endo sufferer, January 20, 2010
This review is from: What to Do When the Doctor Says It's Endometriosis: Everything You Need to Know to Stop the Pain and Heal Your Fertility (Paperback)
Dr. Lyons performed surgery at The Center for Endometriosis Care in Atlanta, GA: a clinic that is on the cutting edge of all the most recent research and technology. He actually invented a surgical technique that is named after him and performed by the surgeons at that clinic. This book is EXCELLENT in that it answers a bevy of questions you have in VERY simple and easy to understand language. I travelled from WV to Atlanta to have my surgery there based on the research/technique that Dr. Lyons did. My surgery was performed by Dr. Ken Sinervo using Dr. Lyons technique and I would HIGHLY recommend that clinic. If you are a sufferer of endometriosis, you NEED this book in your library. It helps to answer most of your questions in terms that are easy to understand and not full of medical jargon that you would have to look up. I recommend buying this book along with Mary Lou Ballweg's. It rounds out a good bevy of info that you will need to deal with and treat your endometriosis.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Endo books out there!, April 26, 2006
By 
Bibliophile (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What to Do When the Doctor Says It's Endometriosis: Everything You Need to Know to Stop the Pain and Heal Your Fertility (Paperback)
I checked out every endometriosis book that my library had, this was by far the best. If I could only choose one book to buy before surgery, or right after being diagnosed, this is the one. I appreciated that the author is a well known expert and not just a fellow Endometriosis sufferer.
