Summary:

"Chronic illness affects everybody differently, but we all share the goal of living meaningfully and making the most of what we have. This book exists to help you take accessible steps towards that goal and build a life that truly feels like yours. Instead of focusing on the medical side of long-term conditions, this book dives into the important parts of everyday living that often go unspoken about--from practical advice on friendships, dating and independent living, to more reflective guidance on rediscovering your identity and learning to self-advocate."-- Amazon website.
