Free Downloads Coping With Endometriosis: A Practical Guide
"Coping with Endometriosis" is the latest addition to Avery's "Coping With Chronic Diseases" series, with over 390,000 copies sold. An estimated 5.5 million women in the U.S. and Canada suffer from the physical and emotional pain of chronic endometriosis. Despite this number, the disease is largely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed. This authoritative book thoroughly explains endometriosis, a disorder that effects a woman's reproductive and immune systems, causing painful growths, bleeding and often infertility. Readers will learn about the latest treatment options, including both conventional and alternative therapies. Like the other books in this series, it offers wonderful suggestions for alleviating the psychological and emotional anguish, which often accompany chronic diseases. This is a coping guide that will help women and their families take control and lead fuller, more normal lives.

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2001 & had my first surgery that year. Toward the latter part of 2002, I started to be in chronic pain for this disease. I'll make a long story short. (If you want to see the long story, go to my review about Jennifer Lewis' book that I think is medically inaccurate). This book is compelling, thorough and most of all, helpful. It was a book I *SHOULD* have had in 2001. Since dealing with my pain, this book has opened my eyes to therapies I can use, how I can deal with ALL the aspects of this disease, and how it affects my loved ones. This is a great book because it talks to you through a whole person concept--- not just dealing with the reproductive Endometriosis, but it deals with all of the areas surrounding it, too, like emotions, finances, and so on. It doesn't talk down to you, and won't make you feel like you're in a pity party, but gives you tools to try to cope and even recover. Check this book out. You'll be glad you did.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who's already done their basic endo research, and is ready to move on to how to cope with this awful disease. I have found this book to be better than "The Endometriosis Sourcebook", especially when it comes to teaching useful coping skills. The "Sourcebook" is fine for basic information, just get this when you need more specifics on endo topics, "current" endo information, and are ready to find ways to live with endo, and not suffer with it. Besides, the Endometriosis Association, whose founder Mary Lou Ballweg wrote the "Sourcebook", is funded by grants from TAP Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Lupron, which destroys women's lives daily in the endo fight!! Why support them in their hypocrisy by buying "The Endometriosis Sourcebook"?
This is an outstanding book, containing all the latest (as of the date of publication) on research and treatment, coping tools, fertility, emotional aspects, diet/nutrition, medications, surgery, alternatives and too much more to list.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 15. At this age I did not even come close to understanding what this disease was, or how it was going to effect my future. After reading this book, not only did I understand the health aspect of this disease, but I also learned how to cope with the emotional part of it as well. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to understand this disease.
After being diagnosed and in denial for awhile about the disease, this was the 3rd book i began reading to help myself understand my body and what was happening to it. This book put a lot of things into perspective and began to shed some light on the disease and what I needed to do get control of it. This is the book that my friends need to read so that they can also understand what I am going thru.
