Filled with hundreds of tips, suggestions, and strategies, this Spanish adaptation of Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions offers practical solutions to the many challenges encountered when living with a chronic health condition. It explains how to develop and maintain exercise and nutrition programs, address symptoms, determine when to seek medical help, work effectively with doctors, properly manage medications and minimize side effects, find community resources, discuss illness with family and friends, and tailor social activities for particular conditions. Written by seven medical and self-care professionals, the book encourages an individual approach to the process of taking control of your condition, with the ultimate goal being greater self-management. Originally based on a five-year study conducted at Stanford University with hundreds of volunteers, this work has grown to include the feedback of medical professionals and thousands of people with chronic conditions all over the world.
