AMAZON BOOKS BY DIAGNOSIS
The books below describe each diagnosis. They are available on Amazon.
The book titles below are taken from Amazon, because Amazon is an international resource. I tried to find at least one paperback selling for less than $20 for each diagnosis. If the book costs more than $30.00, I have listed that. You may also find books that are “audiobooks” or “Kindle” (read after downloading), that is listed also. Your own library may have a copy for no charge. Some libraries also offer “Interlibrary Loan” where they can borrow books for you.
Most of the books have been published since 2015, so they should have relatively-current medical information about your diagnosis.
Due to the short amount of space to list the author and the book, I have only listed one author for each book, even if there were more authors. If I shortened the title of the book, I added periods (. . .)after the last word in the title.
As the author, I tried to find useful but inexpensive books relevant to each of the diagnoses. They are available through Amazon, your local library(ies) or local bookstore(s); only the titles are listed below.
