5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for all Concerned with the Disease, April 13, 2006

By	Heather "Heather" (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource!, November 14, 2006

By	A. Meyer (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good starting point, June 7, 2006

By	Ali Crehan Feeney (Quincy, MA USA) - See all my reviews

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.
