Description:
Being sick is hard work! A Delicate Balance is a well-researched look at the lives of millions of people with chronic and largely invisible illnesses -- e.g., lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, inflammatory bowel disorders, Lyme disease, interstitial cystitis, and multiple sclerosis. Instead of focusing on a specific illness, this book candidly looks at the experience of living with chronic disease through in-depth, personal interviews with patients, care providers, and family members.
Expand description
Wells ushers readers through the lives of 21 individuals, including herself, in their quest to:
-- find a comprehensive diagnosis
-- locate a capable and caring health care provider
-- research and try traditional or alternative treatments
-- make sense of their powerful emotions
-- strengthen relationships with family and friends
-- make significant career decisions
A Delicate Balance is a must-read if you have a chronic illness, love someone who does, or care for those patients in your medical, social work, or therapeutic practice.
