Arthritis: A Cleveland Clinic Guide

ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
This book tells the stories of people with ten of the most common forms of arthritis. Written by John D. Clough, M.D., former chairman of the Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Disease, the book has a conversational tone but is packed with useful information. In each case, the story begins with the first symptoms of the disorder, then the evaluation process and diagnosis, and finally the treatment, including the hazards of treatment. There is also a chapter on fibromyalgia and one on joining a clinical trial. The book is rounded out by a detailed glossary and an index. Rheumatologist George Ehrlich, M.D., of the University of Pennsylvania states in a review of the book, “I recommend this book highly, not only for patients but also for the physicians who diagnose and treat them. Perhaps the poor communication that plagues physician-patient relationships at times will be overcome.” Explained through the eyes of typical patients, and fully illustrated, this book examines the ten most common forms of arthritis, answering questions such as: • Who is at risk and why? • How to seek proper treatment • How to understand different medications and side effects • The long-term prognosis and what can be done • Should I join a clinical trial?
