HELPING PATIENTS TO UNDERSTAND
THE ISSUE
Patients who understand the concepts behind their condition and have learnt how to manage well, have a significantly improved quality of life.
Conversely, those who have not had the opportunity to grasp the fundamentals can experience persistent pain, be frequently hospitalized, accumulate muscle damage, suffer deterioration in their condition, experience psychological issues and develop concomitant conditions.
The paperback book “101 Tips for a good life with McArdle Disease” is available in several languages.
