Publisher's Synopsis
Some people have every reason to be grateful to conventional medicine; it has saved their life, or at least made their life bearable. Others, with hard-to-treat conditions that are not easy to classify (perhaps not even easy to spell) have a more complicated relationship with the tests and treatments offered by their doctors, and may resort to alternatives which pose problems of their own. This unflinching, thoughtful, often witty account of one's woman's experience will be of value to anybody living with a hidden or little-understood disability, and to those who care for or work with them.
