If you have been recently diagnosed or are currently dealing with a chronic or terminal illness, this book was written for you. We may not know each other or have ever met, but I want to help you learn how to successfully manage your medical condition. Through my own years of chronic illness, I have had to learn many of these lessons the hard way, through trial and error. Hopefully my experiences, and the strategies outlined, can serve as a guide to help you avoid the frustrations I have felt and move you directly toward successful control over your medical situation.
