Dr Azim P H Somani’s latest publication is a medical account of life with Giant Cells Arteritis.
This book is based on a real life story of a lady with Giant Cells Arteritis – Temporal Arteritis. It portrays the situation of treatment with Prednisolone – corticosteroid and the side effects over a prolonged period of time. It’s an educational document and also a supportive source of many other illnesses that follow upon taking steroids.
She was immediately upon diagnosis treated with steroids to avoid the risk of blindness. This document gives a complete account of her suffering with side effects including the rounded face, medically known as Moon Face, weight gain, steroid induced diabetes, legs swelling, glaucoma, cataract, swollen neck, obstructive sleep apnoea, vascular disorder and more.
This is an informed account of how such an obscure condition can bring so many shocking realities to an individuals life, not only emotionally but medically. Life with Giant Cells Arteritis is a comprehensive account of the many side effects this illness creates and the respective on-going treatments.

Nadir is absolutely correct, so little is known about this very serious illness which virtually destroys the person. It is the treatment that causes the damage. Like Yasmin mentions, we all at some point of our lives go through health complications and it is important to be aware of side effects. This book covers various different conditions.

Hi Azim, glad to hear about this book and the sad account of it all, as you know I too was on Steroids for 17years for heart and Lung problem, till Jesus healed me when I me Him Face to Face in 1999. Otherwise I would have needed a Heart and Lung transplant by 2005, as the side affects meant I was on other tablets going to over 35 a day.. Thank fully I was fully and totally set free for 11 years now..
Where can I get this book from? Blessings, Love to all, Minaz

Major book sellers are already taking pre-orders but, when launched, it will be available everywhere. I understand some organisations are going to use the book as a learning and therapy source worldwide.
