This is definitely a good book to have for people that have been recently diagnosed. Although of course most of the information is available on the internet, when you have a pervasive condition you don't want to troll the internet every time you are looking for an answer. I knew a lot of this information from practice, but to be quite frank, I think a lot of patients with any illness such as this are looking for validation. No, I'm not going crazy, yes putting a pillow between my knees does help. My nerve damage occurred after a DaVinci surgery to remove a kidney, which occurred some time ago. Most of this book is focused on the recently-diagnosed; hopefully short-term conditions. My case is a little different being chronic in nature at this point, but I still found some helpful ideas. When you have a pervasive illness, a community of like-minded individuals is always helpful and comforting.
