Amazon.com Review
A diagnosis of endometriosis can sound like the end of the world, having no known cure or cause and frightening statistics of increased miscarriage or infertility. The best tool to have at your side when combating any health issue is information, and The Endometriosis Survival Guide provides a reassuring bounty. Margot Joan Fromer gives straight talk on what to expect, from doctors who may not take your pain seriously to the likely side effects of treatments. Common treatments such as hormone therapy and laparoscopy are covered in depth, as well as alternative methods such as shiatsu, aromatherapy, the controversial "Natural Estrogen Diet," and more. Her tone is warm and concerned, so the text never lapses into dry jargon. If you or a woman you know has endo, the Survival Guide's brief, well-balanced overview may be just what's needed.
From Library Journal
Endometriosis is a condition wherein uterine tissue lodges elsewhere in the pelvic cavity, causing pain and other complications. Medical writer Fromer (Healthy Living with Diabetes, LJ 7/98) explains what it is, how it is treated, and how to cope with the pain and stress that may accompany it. She includes a glossary of medical terms and a list of resource organizations. The material is clear and could be useful to someone recently diagnosed. However, some of the advice seems flaky ("Dress in bright, cheerful colors"), and many of the recommendations are not backed up by medical studies. In addition, Fromer's discussion of doctors can be offensive (e.g., "in the case of OBGs, they have a unique power to hurt women, and many of them like to"). Your library is probably better off with a book written by a medical professional, like Dr. Susan Lark's Fibroid Tumors & Endometriosis Self Help Book (Celestial Arts, 1995).?Elizabeth A.
