I purchased this book about 4 months after I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I believe I'm still in a certain amount of denial having been diagnosed with a chronic disease. However, this book provided a wealth of information. M.E.A. McNeil, diagnosed with RA herself, has written a comprehensive easy to understand book. The book covers topics ranging from medication, diet and exercise to intimacy, travel and entertaining.
I was comforted by the fact that prior to writing this book, McNeil was once wheel-chair bound and totally inactive, but now is better able to deal with and manage the disease. I've never been one to look at the bright side, so her words of wisdom and experience are very encouraging.
I know that I will return to this book again and again as both a reference and a form of reassurance.
