Symptomatic: The Symptom-Based Handbook For Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes And Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (PDF)

By Clair A. Francomano, Alan J. Hakim, Lansdale G.S. Henderson, Fraser C. Henderson Sr.
Symptomatic: The Symptom-Based Handbook for Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders offers a novel approach to the subject, structured around the panoply of symptoms those with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders may describe to their clinicians. The content is arranged intuitively from head to feet. Each chapter integrates a clinical case study with a concise discussion and two important tools: a simplified algorithm for diagnosing and managing each symptom; and differential diagnoses (i.e. alternative explanations) for the symptoms. Combining the expertise of some 70 leading clinicians representing more than 30 specialties, the content is suited for clinicians who need a concise presentation of the various and complex symptoms they confront in their practice. It also aims to inform and empower patients, helping them understand the nature of these concerns and their management. This handbook advances an integrative understanding of this emerging interdisciplinary field, bridging the gaps between the several dozen specialties germane to EDS and HSD.
