Book

[Chopin002]

Good morning. I want to buy Kate Gilbert’s book as everyone mentions it and seems to love it. My friend is ordering on amazon, but not sure as there’s more than one to choose from. Is it the survival guide second edition? Thank you . Perhaps any of her books are good.

Yes that’s the updated version.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis: a survival guide. 2nd edition. amazon.co.uk/dp/1533523541/...

Well worth reading & good to pass on to Family or Friends to read.

[Chopin002 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you both. Looking forward to the read.

I bought the latest kindle edition in July 2018. My introduction to PMR, following diagnosis and an invaluable and well written resource.

I don’t know if this is the same link as the one mentioned by Mrs Nails, but it’s certainly the latest available edition and one I’d highly recommend.

As far as I know she has only written the one - but did revise the 1st edition and it is now the 2nd edition.

[Chopin002 in reply to PMRpro]

Thank you . That makes sense. No wonder I couldn’t find the first edition. I now have it on order.

I was diagnosed in June this year. I downloaded the book the other day to my phone and finished it yesterday. It gave me a great insight into PMR and answered a lot of my questions. I will be going to my GP much more informed and will know what I want to ask her before I get there.

I too was diagnosed in June and bought the book. It is really helpful along with the excellent advice given on this site and I feel so much more confident Than I did a few weeks ago. I too have a list of questions for my next GP visit.

I bought it from the Fishpond site which was cheaper than Amazon. You would need to check, but Fishpond may be NZ only?

Think there’s only one written - the 2nd must be a rewrite of the 1st!
