No one plans on having a chronic illness!
Have you ever had a doctor tell you your symptoms are all in your head, to seek psychotherapy, or that you are too complicated of a case to work with? Have you been brushed off by doctors as attention seeking, lying, or called a "faker" or a labeled drug seeker when you know that is not the case?
Author Julee Cruz has experienced all of this and more in her journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and is here to share her message with readers living with the same condition.
In Fragile: Handle with Care: Living and Loving with an Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Diagnosis, Julee Cruz discusses how
- You can live a happy and productive life despite a chronic illness
- You are not crazy or imagining your symptoms
- You can find doctors and healthcare professionals who understand you and help you
- You can still accomplish your goals in life without letting your illness hinder you
- To be your own advocate to better your own health
- You define who you are, not your chronic illness
Take if from someone who "gets it," who has experienced all of this and more firsthand. Living with EDS can be a challenge, but you can still be happy and fulfilled.
Fragile: Handle with Care is the guidebook anyone with EDS - or anyone who loves someone with EDS - needs to ensure they don't feel alone in their condition and are rather encouraged and inspired to find fulfillment despite their chronic illness.
