Clive West Lymphedema

Annotation

Have you ever wished you could chat to someone who suffers from the same illness as you? That's exactly the experience which this book offers to those afflicted with lymphedema, a common malady which goes unrecognised in a shockingly high proportion of cases. In accessible language, the author explains the illness' background, what the dangers are, what sufferers can do about it, and how they can get treated without having to remortgage a home. As a patient who has consulted medical textbooks but not swallowed them, he offers a refreshingly frank account of what it's like to live with the disease and to have it misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and worse.
