Editorial Reviews for The First Year: Scleroderma: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (The First Year Series)
|
Scleroderma-a chronic autoimmune condition that causes hardening, thickening, or tightening of the skin and attacks the heart, lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract-is extraordinarily difficult to diagnose and can take a huge toll on the psychological well-being of the individual. From the first moment of her diagnosis, author Karen Gottesman took charge and educated herself on every aspect of her condition. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides those newly diagnosed step by step through their first year with scleroderma. She provides crucial information about the nature of the disease, treatment options, diet, exercise, social concerns, emotional issues, networking with others, and much more. The First Year™-Scleroderma is illustrated with charts and tables, and offers an invaluable guide for everyone learning to live with their diagnosis.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Comment:
My teenage son was recently diagnosed with a form of Scleroderma (Morphea) that is believed, at this point, to be only localized. However, the endless tests have continued as we try to define the parameters of his disease and condition. This book has been EXTREMELY helpful to me in understanding all the "doctor speak" in plain English so I feel less overwhelmed with the enormity of it all.
I HIGHLY recommend this book if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with this very rare, difficult to understand disease.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Restores a sense of control of your own destiny
Comment: I cannot say enough about this book. After being diagnosed I felt completely terrified and powerless. This book walks you through things you can do to ensure you receive the best treatment possible. Full of great facts about scleroderma that my doctor either didn't know or just didn't tell me. Really stresses the fact that you must be your own advocate and that is a great impetus to get out of bed and do everything you can. Emotionally supportive, just a wonderful book (that came for me at exactly the right time).
Customer Rating:
Summary: For a scleroderma victim, a comprehensive overview
Comment: I purchased this for my niece who was just diagnosed with scleroderma and her medical team were not educating her as to the long term affects and prognosis associated with this disease. After reading the book, she was able to quiz her physicians on those points she needed clarified and has been very satisfied with this book's comprehensive overview for the newly diagnosed scleroderma patient. Highly recommend this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must read for scleroderma patients
Comment: This is a wonderful book! As a newly diagnosed patient, I have found this book to be the best book I have read on scleroderma. Not only is it the most comprehensive, but it is extremely well organized and easy to read. The information and guidance the author provides is both practical and uplifting. I was so impressed with this book, I even bought a copy for my doctor!
I highly recommend this book for anyone with scleroderma, regardless of how long they have been living with the disease.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This book is spectacular!
Comment: This book is spectacular! It is filled with lots of helpful information to help get you through this disease. The bottom line is: If you are diagnosed with scleroderma, this book is a must have.
