The Story

Health books are usually written by experts who offer authoritative information about conditions, symptoms and treatments – people who usually don’t live with the condition themselves, but nevertheless tell you what you should do because they know best.

This book is different. It’s based on the real-world experiences of patients. Our approach is not to tell you what to do, but to give you the hard data and the education to help you make your own decisions – to manage your own health. It’s not about doing it alone. It’s about taking control of the process and becoming the primary decision maker when it comes to your health.
