We hope that patients find strength to speak up and speak out about autoimmune disease.  Even more, we hope that patients are encouraged and gain hope from Liz’s story.  Laughter is the best medicine.  Having a good sense of humor and a strong support system can make all the difference in living and thriving with these diseases.

This is a wonderful book documenting the struggles so many patients and families have in dealing with physicians who don’t understand their diseases.   There is nothing worse then being told all the routine tests are normal so there must be nothing wrong. This is often compounded by employers and others who say “You don’t look sick.”   This book will help so many to know they are not alone.

Many words came to mind as I read Liz Wilkey’s memoir:  brave, persevering, and hopeful, ever hopeful.  While this is Liz’s story, it is also the story of so many patients living with chronic life-altering conditions.  Her story is inspirational, for patients and non-patients alike.  And we can all live in hope that by raising awareness for peripheral neuropathy and other associated conditions, that more can be done to find new treatments and ultimately a cure.
