If you or someone you care about has gout or pseudogout, you need this book.
This is the colour version (for the cheaper black & white version, copy 978-1-73-958132-9 into the search box)
Living with gout or pseudogout is no joke. Joint pain during a flare-up can be excruciating, making it impossible to do anything. One in 5 people with gout will get kidney stones, another opportunity for incapacitating pain. In the long term, permanent joint damage can result.
The diagnosis is not always straightforward and is often made incorrectly – many other conditions give similar symptoms. You need to ensure your diagnosis of gout or pseudogout is correct.
Many treatment choices are available, each with pros and cons. Ensuring that treatment is working and not causing harm requires regular monitoring. Inadequate treatment means needless gout attacks and complications such as kidney stones and joint damage.
Information about the foods you can eat, supplements and alternative medicines is confusing and contradictory. It can be hard to know what to believe.
This rigorously researched handbook, written by experienced doctors, provides detailed information clearly and straightforwardly. Their aim is to give you the information you need to talk knowledgeably with your doctor and take a full part in decisions about your care.
We have worked hard to ensure that this is the most comprehensive book about gout and pseudogout you can buy.
In THE GOUT & PSEUDOGOUT HANDBOOK, you’ll discover:
-
Who gets gout and pseudogout and why
-
Twelve conditions that are often confused with gout or pseudogout
-
What tophi are, and how are they treated
-
Why only one in ten people get correctly diagnosed with gout, and why as many as half the people being treated for gout don’t actually have it
-
Complete details of the strategies and medicines doctors use to treat gout and pseudogout
-
Why you can’t rely on your doctor to prescribe the best treatment for you
-
Why only 1 in 5 people receive optimal treatment
-
How the safety and effectiveness of your treatment should be monitored
-
How you will know if your medication needs changing
-
How you will know if you have kidney stones, and how to prevent them
-
Which foods you can eat, and which you should avoid
-
If twenty-five complementary and alternative therapies actually work
-
Twelve new medicines and medical advances
-
How you can take part in clinical trials to get the latest medicines
-
How doctors think. Understanding this helps you make more effective use of your time with them
For some light relief, you’ll find:
-
Chapters on gout in history and in culture
-
Case histories and quizzes to test your understanding
-
Crossword and word search puzzles to help you remember the key concepts
Plus, in the BONUS SECTION, you’ll find a logbook with specially designed charts and forms that allow you to record:
-
Contact details for your healthcare team
-
Attacks and flare-ups
-
Medication
-
Tophi
-
Blood results
-
Plans and outcomes for doctor/clinic visits
As few as 1 in 5 people with gout are receiving optimal treatment. Suboptimal treatment increases your risk of dying, by more than a quarter. Your life is at stake here.
The person who understands their disease and how it should be treated is the person who gets the best care. That’s why we wrote this book, and why you need to read it.
