Nameless Diseases

By: Terra Diane Ziporyn

You know you are sick, but no one can put a name to your illness. You go from doctor to doctor, seeking a diagnosis. You have lost track of the tests that have been done on you and failed to give an answer. People tell you, "It's all in your head." Your medical insurance refuses to pay the bills. You feel all the worse because no one believes that something is really wrong. Sound familiar? Countless people suffer enormous physical, psychological, and financial distress from nameless diseases--any disease that hasn't been diagnosed yet, or whose very existence is a matter of medical controversy: AIDS, in the early 1980s, for example, as well as chronic fatigue syndrome, postpartum depression, premenstrual syndrome, and dyslexia. Terra Ziporyn, a medical journalist, explains why it can be so hard to find out what's wrong, why it matters so much, and what to do about it. As her examples vividly show, people with nameless diseases often feel that the pain of not knowing is worse than the disease. Anxious to help their patients, doctors sometimes find themselves forced to put a name on a condition they can't identify. Yet, a disease that hasn't been diagnosed correctly cannot be treated effectively. Nameless Diseases draws on the first-hand accounts of real patients, case studies, medical literature, and the history of medicine (which is littered with the names of discarded diseases) to explore all these issues. Nameless Diseases is compelling reading for anyone who has ever suffered from a medical mystery or seeks to understand the limitations of medical progress. The book includes a list of organizations devoted to education the public about commonly overlooked, unrecognized, rare, or misdiagnosed diseases.

Do Not Go Gentle

By: Terra Diane Ziporyn,Terra Ziporyn

On one hand, Dr. Alvin Forman is a soft-spoken allergist, single father, and suburban homeowner. On the other hand, and to his own bafflement, he's also a serial killer. A former child prodigy, Alvin has struggled all his life to reconcile his desire to save humanity with his desire to destroy it. Now a respected community member, he finds himself meticulously and ruthlessly dismembering patients, loved ones, and neighbors between administering allergy shots and raising his troubled teenaged daughter. But Alvin is beyond suspicion. Even Gloria, an evangelical Christian neighbor who hopes to convert Alvin as well as see him happily remarried, is clueless about just how much his soul actually needs saving. What would push a doctor who has sworn to protect life to kill? What demons haunt such a troubled mind? And what happens when he loses the only thing that matters to him? These are the questions explored in this tension-filled, psychological thriller. A "why done it?" (as opposed to a "who done it?), Do Not Go Gentle affirms modern forensic science's claim that there is no typical serial murderer; indeed, even the sweetest next-door neighbor may have a heinous hidden hobby.

The New Harvard Guide to Women’s Health

By: Karen J. Carlson M.D.,Stephanie A. Eisenstat M.D.,Terra Ziporyn Ph.D.

With the publication in 1996 of The Harvard Guide to Women's Health, women seeking answers to questions about their health had access to the combined expertise of physicians from three of the world's most prestigious medical institutions: Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. With complete information on women's health concerns, physical and behavioral, this A to Z reference quickly became a definitive resource, praised especially for its coverage of topics not previously considered under the umbrella of women's health. The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health reunites the authors to bring a valued health reference up to date for a new generation--and for those women who have come to rely on the Harvard Guide and are now wondering what to do about their health as they enter a new stage of life, asking questions like the following: I've been on hormone replacement therapy. Should I stop? How? Could this rash be lupus? I've been on the Pill. What is my risk for stroke? Fat is bad, fat is good: What should I believe? And what's left to eat? When does ordinary worry become chronic anxiety? What screening tests do I need now? In addition to revised recommendations reflecting the current medical thinking on menopause and hormone replacement therapy, the New Harvard Guide includes updated recommendations about cardiac health and heart disease--the #1 killer of women in the United States entries reflecting recent advances in the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases better coverage of health concerns throughout a woman's life span, from her first period to menopause and beyond, with a new entry on perimenopause expanded nutritional recommendations, including a unique chart of the U.S. government's Daily Reference Intakes for micronutrients, broken down for teens and women whose needs may differ because they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal updated information on over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, procedures, screenings, and diagnostic tests
