Lightening the Shadow
Among all the noise about how to live a healthy lifestyle, there needs to be a clear, moving voice on how to live a chronically ill lifestyle. Lightening the Shadow is now available in print and e-book versions. Read this medical mystery with encouragement for patients and education for doctors: https://www.amazon.com/Lightening-Shadow-Diagnosing-Invisible-Chronic/dp/069214949X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1535920310&sr=8-1

Nothing will improve for patients with invisible disabilities if we don't come out from the shadows and shed light on our needs. If you like this book, review it online and share it with a doctor. Thanks for following this book's progress!

The book won't launch today as planned, and I'm aware that Lightening the Shadow is showing as unavailable at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. There was a production error that I'm having fixed. Check back Tuesday, Sept. 11! I couldn't let the world read a book that wasn't perfect. Happy Friday, and thanks for your patience!

Lessons 5-7 for Patients from Lightening the Shadow

9/6/2018

The countdown to Lightening the Shadow is winding down!
5. There’s nothing wrong with asking for major help in the face of life-changing events. Independence is an American value, not a law.
6. Accept the limitations chronic illness imposes and your new life and identity.
7. Find a way to contribute to society or your caregivers. This is last because you need to manage your illness first, but helping out even from bed has made me more content. 

Come back tomorrow!

Lessons 3-4 for Patients from Lightening the Shadow

9/2/2018

Lesson 3: Trust yourself more than you trust health care professionals. You know your body better than anyone because you’re the one living in it. Lesson 4: Don’t use YouTube or the Internet to learn how to do medical procedures. I hit a nerve and nearly passed out when I gave myself a shot without medical supervision. Three more lessons are coming in the countdown to ​Lightening the Shadow.
