Inhaltsangabe

The 19th-century doctor Sir William Osler said: "When a patient with arthritis walks through the front door, I feel like leaving through the back door." For many arthritis sufferers, simply walking through a doorway requires a supreme effort of will. Divorce is three times more common in couples where one spouse has the disease. There is no permanent cure, but something can be done to alleviate the distress. In "Winning with Arthritis", the author counsels an holistic approach, paying attention to all aspects of lifestyle: diet, exercise, stress and environment. She offers a practical self-help plan to relieve and control pain. The book makes distinctions between different types of arthritis and bases successful self-management with the appropriate treatment programme.
