  Self-diagnosis is a natural instinct - more natural to some than to others. However, all of us owe it to ourselves to be aware of our health and that of our family and to know the early-warning signs of disease. Doctors expect to work as a team with their patients, diagnosis is simplified if patients can describe their symptoms accurately and knowedgeably. This book is designed to help readers do exactly that, as well as enabling them to make up their own minds about whether mysterious symptoms might really be something to worry about. The book covers the range of symptoms, and combinations of symptoms, putting them into perspective by telling which diagnosis is probable, which possible and which rare.
