Summary
"More than eighty health conditions are caused by autoimmune disease, with symptoms ranging from occasionally uncomfortable to debilitating or life-threatening. Emily Filmore has lived with autoimmune disease for over two decades. She shares her own journey with candor, warmth, and humor, alternating between triumphs and heartbreaking setbacks, and offering hard-won lessons on how to choose and manage you doctors; surviving your first diagnosis; managing depression and helplessness; letting go of body image; thriving in your marriage; and being the parent you've always wanted to be--despite your disease"-- Page 4 of cover.
