Publisher's Synopsis

Self-diagnosis is a natural instinct - more natural to some than to others. However, all of us owe it to ourselves to be aware of our health and that of our family and to know early-warning signs of disease. Doctors expext to work as a team with their patients, diagnosis is simpified if patients can describe their symptons accurately and knowledgeably. This book is designed to help readers to do eactly that, as well as enabling them to make up their own minds about whether mysterious symptons might really be something to worry about. The book covers the range of symptons, and combinations of symptoms, putting them into perspective by telling which diagnosis is probable, which is possible and which rare.
