Customer Reviews

This book gave me hope!

I recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed or thinks they may have MVP. Lyn Fredrickson takes a rational approach and gives practical, medically sound advice for the person with MVP. After reading this book, I knew I was not dying, and I wasn't crazy. Ms. Fredrickson assured me my symptoms were real, and gave me hope for a life unchained from those symptoms. Don't pay any attention to the reader from State College, PA. They obviously did not read this book. Judge for yourself!

Wonderful Book!! Easy to understand!

Thanks so much for writing this book. I was beginning to think I was losing it! Now I know better. This book helps me to understand my symptoms so much better. I didn't realize there were so many different symptoms related to MVP. I thought all the symptoms I was experiencing were "in my mind", now I don't feel so alone out there. Thanks again, Ms. Frederickson for writing this book.

Thoroughly recommended.

This book has been a real life saver for me. I have struggled with MVPS for many years. None of the medical experts in the UK mentioned that there was a syndrome associated with MVP which had all of the associated symptoms I was experiencing. This book has changed my quality of life, I cannot thank Lyn Fredrickson enough. I thoroughly recommend this book.

EXCELLENT! A MUST READ FOR THOSE WITH MVPS

This is by far the best book I have read on MVPS. I feel so relieved to know that anxiety/panic attacks can be a part of this syndrome. This should definately be a required text for those newly diagnosed with MVPS. It is a life-saver. Thanks a million!!!

THANK YOU, Lynne Frederickson!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have been "suffering" with multiple symptoms for the past 15 years with no idea they were all connected! I read this book last night and I am amazed to find out I am not going CRAZY! Today, I have a new outlook and knowing that I can go foward from here is a great relief!
