The Facts Book

Each book in this popular series offers practical advice about an illness or condition in a clear and accessible style, written by leading authorities in the field.

When the first edition of Myotonic Dystrophy: “The Facts” was published in 2002, it was widely appreciated by families, support groups, professionals, and reviewers for its simple and clear approach to key practical questions.

This new edition retains the same successful structure, but also includes: new material resulting from the recognition of the distinct ‘type 2’ Myotonic dystrophy; which had only just been identified at the time of the first edition; further explanations of the of the advances in basic understanding of Myotonic dystrophy; and additional coverage of the new approaches to the therapy and management of the condition, including discussion of the new research that is on-going worldwide.

New to this edition: ‘key points’ ‘frequently asked questions’ and up to date contact details for worldwide support groups.
