Alternatives to Conventional Ileostomy
by Dana P. Launer, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Ursula Coats, R.N., C.E.T.N
The Prospect of a major operation can be very frightening. Indeed, much of the fear arises from a lack of
knowledge regarding the necessity of surgery, what happens during the operation, and how the results will
improve life afterwards.
Removal of the colon and rectum becomes necessary when diseases of the large intestine progress to the
stage where medical management no longer controls symptoms and/or the condition becomes a threat to
life. To the fastidious individual, description of bowel evacuation may seem offensive, but it is important to
know the alternatives available to the patient and to the surgeon after the colon is removed.

Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired: Living with Invisible Chronic Illness
by Paul J. Donoghue, Ph.D. and Mary E. Siegel, Ph.D.
Unlike a leg in a cast, invisible chronic illness (ICI) has no observable symptoms. Consequently, people
who suffer from chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and many other miseries often endure not only the ailment
but dismissive and negative reactions from others. Since its first publication, Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick
and Tired has offered hope and coping strategies to thousands of people who suffer from ICI. Paul
Donoghue and Mary Siegel teach their readers how to rethink how they themselves view their illness and
how to communicate with loved ones and doctors in a way that meets their needs. The authors'
understanding makes readers feel they have been heard for the first time. For this edition, the authors
include a new introduction drawing on the experiences of the many people who have responded to the book
and to their lectures and television appearances. They expand the definition of ICI to include other ailments
such as depression, addiction, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. They bring the resource material,
including Web sites, up to the present, and they offer fresh insights on four topics that often emerge: guilt,
how ICI affects the family, meaningfulness, and defining acceptance.
