    Joint and Muscle Related Conditions
    Neuromuscular Conditions

Once through the list of symptoms associated with each condition, Mary moves on to treatment options. She summarizes traditional options and holistic approaches to treatment.

My recommendation

Mary also offers a checklist to help assess risk factors, as well as a symptoms checklist. She offers sound advice on how to find and work with the right practitioner and shows us how to put together our own autoimmune repair plan.

Mary also shares her own personal autoimmune repair plan outline. Her book is interspersed with personal insight from several autoimmune patients. Mary also shows us how to find the best resources and websites, the best doctors, experts, and patient organizations.

The book is a must-have and a must-read. The book explains the complexities of autoimmune diseases, allowing the reader to understand the possibility of overlapping symptoms and conditions. The reader is able to eliminate lingering confusion, and be set on a path toward recovery.
