Publisher's Synopsis
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Olfert. The results of your MRI were not normal."
Those words marked the beginning of the second chronic invisible illness for Robyn Derksen Olfert. As the years progressed, Robyn went on to add two more major illnesses and a raft of less impacting ones.
Living with chronic illness and disability is often overwhelming and challenging, and knowing how to interact with others experiencing these complications can be difficult. In Invisibly Ill and Living with Hope, Robyn candidly shares her story of living with multiple chronic and invisible illnesses and the disability that has resulted. Her vulnerable, transparent, and often humorous writing provides awareness of life with her realities. Robyn empowers her readers to gain understanding of how to relate to individuals in similar circumstances, and she outlines practical ways to make a difference in their lives.
Invisibly Ill and Living with Hope is for people who are struggling and are desperate to know they aren't alone and for caregivers who want insight into how to be the support their loved ones need. This book is equally for those looking to better understand others who are impacted by health challenges. Above all, this is a book offering hope!
