Purchase options and add-ons

Chronic illness is life-changing and life-challenging. We long for our active social lives, our favorite activities, our jobs. Our families must adjust to our changes, limitations and struggles, both physical and emotional. Others can be timid or frustrated when trying to relate to us, especially if we don’t look sick. Or they avoid us altogether. Opportunities vanish.We are faced with enormous changes and challenges, and it is up to us how we respond. We can sulk and spend our lives wishing things were different. Or we can create new lives that embrace the changes, adapt with the challenges and encompass the things that truly give us joy! We've been offered this time to reassess our abilities, our desires, our faith, our passion and our purpose and, while being realistic as well as creative, we sculpt a new vision for our lives. Inside this book, you’ll meet 32 inspiring, resilient people who share their stories of struggle, strength and survival through chronic illness. You’ll learn how we became Chronic Illness Warriors, rising out of the ashes to soar, despite our limitations, many donning pajamas as our super-hero attire! We share our experiences in navigating life’s hurdles with chronic illness, including health care, daily life, emotions, self-care, finding our passion and purpose, and creating income. Consider us your Chronic Illness Warrior support team!

    This compilation of us. The ones who live day in and day out through long days of pain, doctors appointments or tests. Some are in long cancer treatments or ms or fibro. Some, like myself, still live in limbo not knowing the why. Cameron is one of us. I highly recommend this book for you the warrior and for caregivers in your family. It is simply a must have!

    A very informative read. I started this book with not a lot of knowledge on the subject. When I was finished, I had learned many things. It was an inspiring journey.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Personal, honest and relatable
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a collection of stories from both US and UK chronically ill patients with a variety of diagnoses. Their accounts are honest, and often hopeful. As a chronically unwell patient myself (EDS, POTs etc) I particularly related to the more positive aspects - living life to the fullest despite our challenges. It's the angle I took in my own book (Brace Yourself is fiction but has a character who lives with chronic illness) and I know that it can be hard to express positivity in the face of adversity, so well done for capturing this alongside the more gritty realities.
    As a series of individual tales it is possible to read in short bursts for those who can't read for longer periods.
    The format was not compatible with my Kindle but I was able to download it to my ipad.
