Summary: My Daughter and I cried with Joy, finally Understood!
Comment: I have so much admiration for the courage this young woman has. By telling her story she has helped us more than any single resource available. After many unsucessful visits with all the wrong Dr.'s and asking all the wrong questions, an ob-gyn at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester recommended Ms Lewis's book and said the Mayo Cinic had it available. We went there for yet another opinion for my angel of a 17 year old who has no life due to this horrible disease. We read it together and cried through almost every part where the author shares her "Journey. It had been so much lke our own up to tht point. It was very encouraging to my daughter and me. Thank you to Jennifer Lewis for this amazing book. I noticed the author dedicated the book to her mother and that touched me deeply having been through so much with my baby girl. Thank you, Jennifer! I recommend this book to anyone looking to undertand more about Endometriosis and how to take charge. Also, you can bring it along with you to your Dr. as we did as there's a section for journaling specific things as well as what questions to ask our doctor from medications to surgery.
You can't go wrong purchsing this incredile book.

Summary: Definitely a Keeper
Comment: Jennifer Lewis has written a many-layered guide to dealing with endometriosis. As well as telling her endometriosis story, she also offers comfort, support, and hope for those who are dealing with this condition. After reading her heartbreakingly honest description of the trips to the ER, and dealing with years of severe pain, I wondered how the other chapters would measure up.
In fact, I found that her story became the perfect springboard for discussing the main thrust of this book: patient advocacy, or, in other words, taking an active role in your own health. This theme pervades the book, especially when it gives tips for dealing with your doctor, and about the pain that the author went through before finding a doctor that would perform the surgery she needed.
Also threading through her story, is the reassurance that there are other women out there, that you, the reader, are definitely not along with this disease. She offers support for those who are giving up hope, and offers comfort for those who think they've tried everything their doctors can think of. One chapter is devoted to the personal letters from other women with endometriosis, with a few that made tears come to my eyes.
The author even includes letters between herself and her husband, a telling look into the stresses that endometriosis can cause within a marriage, and within a family. She includes a section for men, and offers suggestions for the men who love and live with women who deal with this disease.
Even if you've read all of the other endometriosis books out there, this one is definitely a keeper. The author's frank tone and honest empathy with her readers brings you close to her, and her words give you the confidence and knowledge that you need to start understanding endometriosis. I would recommend this book, as a necessary guide to improving your understanding of endometriosis, as well as providing the steps to bettering your own health.

Summary: The worst book written to date
Comment: This book is horrible. Has errors (such as stating there are FIVE Stages of Endo, when there are only FOUR), is nothing but a "look at me, look at me, aren't I wonderful," type of book. Some of the information is suspiciously familiar from other works, but without the credit being given, such as what happened on her website not terribly long ago.
My advice? Get a book that is well known for TRUE INFORMATION about Endometriosis, and not a book that only wants to depict the author and "how wonderful I am." Glenda Motta has a terrific book. The Endometriosis Sourcebook, while a bit outdated, still has excellent information contained within it.
