[Cathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was well written and very informative - so much so, that though I borrowed it from the library, I will be purchasing it. It was written on a level making it easy to learn about my disease without sounding patronizing. It explained all facets with treatments including nutrition. I was quite impressed, as was my mother who bought the book and also has the disease.
