A young writer’s unflinching account of her battle with Crohn’s disease ... a blend of harrowing memoir and self-help tips ... Miller intersperses vivid tales of her struggle with a hard sell for talk therapy and pages of overfamiliar advice on coping with chronic diseases ... Frank reflections and well-worn advice on living with an incurable disease.
The author has had it rough (to say it mildly), but she does an amazing job at sharing her story about being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. But alongside her story, she shares information and advice on living with chronic illness that is truly beneficial; I most appreciated all she had to say about mental health.
I received a free copy of this book directly from the publisher, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to read this and write a review.
A powerful combination memoir and guide on how to navigate chronic illness in the US, Miller writes both of her own experiences and offers advice on how to deal with the changes wrought by chronic illness. The resources in the back of this I think could be very helpful; she writes about how to find a therapist who specializes in the changes of life and trauma associated with chronic illness, how to find a good doctor, and also reveals how absolutely garbage our healthcare system here is in the US. Her own journey of course is also really enlightening; she doesn't hold back in examining how her own privileges help her get the care she needs, and also how capitalism and the structure of work in the US really further damaged her health.
I think this could be really helpful for anyone facing chronic illness or pain--it really does cover a lot of important ground, and it doesn't pretend there are easy answers for any of the challenges that arise.… (meer)
