Great review. This non-fiction book sounds both inspirational and full of information for women. It brings to light a condition that even as a health care professional I am not aware of. Thanks so much for sharing.

This should be a good book to learn how to take care of yourself.

The topic of the book sounds interesting. However, I was surprised by the poorly written review. The grammar was horrendous and the whole thing difficult to follow. I’m surprised OBC allowed this to be the official review.

Sounds like the author gives plenty of good advice on how to manage the Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel Disorder. It is not a book for me, but I am sure many will appreciate her advice. Thanks for the review!

I've never heard of Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel Disorder, so I'm sure this book would open up my eyes about the difficulties one diagnosed will face. I don't think I'll read it unless I have to; just the first sample had me wincing and needing to use the restroom myself... I'm sure it's an uncomfortable disease, as it is surely an uncomfortable read!

Thanks for the review, I’d never heard of Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel Disorder before and it’s good to see there is an author who can give help and the all import third piece of advice, don’t give up.

As a caregiver and health professional, I find this book very informative for this particular health issue. JoAnne Lake is very open regarding her bladder issues and does not lead the reader on in any way.

Already into second chapter and have emailed and text several people I know with similar issues. Can't wait to finish this book.

I am a retired nurse and do not suffer from the conditions of neurogenic bladder or bowel, I do not want to read this book at this time but If I did not have knowledge of the conditions I may have read the book to find answers for the problems. Books that deal with the writer's personal health issues can be good and full of knowledge jewels that even health care providers may not know.
Thank you for the review

The book provides help and tips to people with urological problems. Truly we should look beyond embarrassment. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds like it does a good job of addressing the topic, and encouraging people not to be embarrassed to ask for help. I'm sure it will help a lot of people.

Based on the review this book sounds like a must read for those suffering from this chronic condition or for those with a partner with this condition. I find it inspiring that the author has researched and lived through this and can provide expert advice to others. Thanks for the review.

You know, I never read anything about medicine or health-related topics in a book. Everything I read is purely fictional. But I enjoyed your review so I might give this book a chance. I read so many good reviews about it too. I'm already curious so I added it to my tbr pile. Thanks for the great review! Cheers!

This seems to be a very helpful book for women as the author’s condition is relatively common to us.

Thanks for the great review!
