Product Description

My main purpose in writing this book has been to share my experiences and triumphs with my fellow victims of rheumatoid arthritis. We don’t have to be ashamed or embarrassed just because we have rheumatoid arthritis. The disease is not a crime or sin. It does, however, sentence us to life imprisonment. But there are ways to parole ourselves from this prison. Together we can combat this terrible disease with phenomenal results. I am living proof. Am I so different? Don’t we all in the end have to learn patience and more patience, discipline and tenacity? My advice couldn’t be simpler: “Think positive, think possibility and never give up.” My RA is about as severe as it gets, but even with all my pain in the early years, I’ve managed to live a happy, full life. I’d even say “a normal life”—but who’s normal? No one! My hope is that my experience will give you shortcuts for finding the normal life unique to you.
—Anita Li Chun, author of Pain Was My Middle Name
