I resolved to stop reading it after being told I had thrombocytopaenia

in pregnancy (low platelet count). After reading up on this I was

convinced I had leukaemia or cancer, spent a whole night worrying and

crying and writing my will only to go to the GP and discover it is not

uncommon and may be an indicator of pre-eclampsia. I am the sort who,

whenever I have a headache I have a brain tumour ) There's another

DK book, Children's Symptoms which I have found quite useful, it has

first aid in it too.

We find the BMA Complete Family Health Encyclopedia published by

hardback at £25, as it's a wacking 1200 pages. The only problem is

that you might find you've got things you never thought you had.....!

Yup, I'd agree - I asked for a general illness/health book last Xmas

and this is what my sister bought for me. It is huge (spine almost 3 "

wide!) but covers everything ... and more.
