Digests Concerning Various Illnesses

The information provided in these digests was found in a number of sources, primarily the Merck Manual of Medical Information, www.webmd.com and the CSA (Society of Certified Senior Advisors) publication, 'Working with Seniors', although other sources, particularly websites devoted to particular illnesses, were also consulted. However, if there are any errors or omissions they are not the responsibility of Living Assistance Services. We suggest that, if you need additional information, you consult these authoritative sources. Also, the Societies devoted to each illness have there own web sites with a mass of helpful information for those suffering from an illness and their family and friends. Additional digests will be added in the future.
