The "Daily Telegraph" They Don't Know What's Wrong

Dr James Le Fanu has a column in "The Daily Telegraph" called "In Sickness and in Health" which features a strand on mystery illnesses.

This volume features a collection of bizarre and GP-defying mystery syndromes, along with their symptoms and cures.

Starting with general aches and pains and then concentrating on specific parts of the body, each symptom is given a description, together with historical facts and anecdotes on the complaint.

Then a series of reader-recommended cures is suggested, together with commentary from Dr Le Fanu on what the cause of the mystery syndrome could be.
