Survivors of this horrific, life-changing condition face untold challenges. Many physicians are unsure how to treat this condition and accurate information is scarce on the long-term ramifications. This book details all known information about this condition: the causes, signs / symptoms; treatment, and long-term health ramifications never before understood. Includes medical management protocols for physicians, a chapter devoted to the eyes by Dr. Tseng, and interviews with survivors. This valuable book contains information that may save your life, or it may help the survivor come to terms in living with this condition by knowing what to expect. Highly acclaimed by the medical community. Keywords:Listed in: |

"Before I got your book I was at a loss to know how to help my daughter cope with all these symptoms while feeling that the doctors would not seem to acknowledge the level of pain she is in. Thank you for telling it like it is so that we now know what we are dealing with" - Gay Funnell
