Marcie HoffMarcie Hoff has written many stories from her imagination in the last few years but this is her first fact-based book. Marcie wants this to help many people that, like her, thought that deep vein thrombosis was not something she needed to be concerned about - that it only affected "couch potatoes" and not reasonably active people like her. But, a couple of close friends developed the illness and she realized that their lifestyle was very similar to her own. When she saw the devastating effect on her friends and those closest to them, Marcie decided to put together this plain-speaking guide for the benefit of people that could be at risk - that's almost everyone! She was surprised to find how much misinformation there was about D.V.T., the simple measures which could reduce the risks and the importance of taking those precautions. Marcie says that she has been as thorough as she could, but emphasizes that research is increasing, so people need to ask their own doctor who has the latest available information. She believes that her guide will help people to ask the right questions of their doctor, sort good information from bad and better manage the risk and effects of a very serious disease, deep vein thrombosis.
