Honest, upbeat and extremely useful guide,
By Living abroad "Living abroad" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meeting the Challenge: Living With Chronic Illness (Paperback)
As one who has lived with chronic illness since the age of 10, I understand the complex emotional process encountered while ill, and during and following diagnosis. Kron's advice as right on. I was amazed to find a book that so captures my own experience and philosophy. Most books on coping with illness are either overly medical, patronizing or pessimistic. Meeting the Challenge is realistic while at the same time empowering. This is a must read for anyone who is experiencing chronic illness either directly or as a loved one supporting another.

Courageous, empowering and completely compassionate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meeting the Challenge: Living With Chronic Illness (Paperback)
I was somewhat surprised to find myself totally engrossed in her story and did not put the book down until the last page was read. I found her message courageous, empowering and completely compassionate. The details of her medical misfortunes are not the same as those we face with Graves'. However, the translation was effortless. Her strength gave me strength, her patience contributed to mine, her tenacity urged me to fight back for me. I recommend reading her book for a grueling lesson in the strange twists that life can turn and how to steer in a useful direction. She is one awesome woman. Bonnie Bos, National Graves Disease Foundation
