E-grāmata: Living Well with Dystonia: A Patient Guide

Living Well with Dystonia provides a balanced and easily understandable introduction to a chronic condition that is rarely discussed. Treatments and exercises are presented honestly - no miracle cures, but paths toward symptom relief. Simple diagrams of the nervous system and affected limbs or muscles are very helpful, and comments from actual patients personalize the discussions throughout. Well written. Recommended. -- CAPHIS Consumer Connections
