Product Description
Living With Sarcoidosis & Other Chronic Health Conditions gives firsthand accounts of what life is like when you experience chronic health conditions, as only a patient can articulate, by way of patient stories, support options, insurance tips and a doctor interview. Although each situation is unique, they are also so similar and it's those similarities that helps us cope in a positive manner with our current situations, regardless if you are the patient, caregiver, medical professional, employer or just a friend. The importance of understanding your reality, honestly accepting that reality, therefore being able to live a positive and productive life, is the constant message the book stresses by way of living examples. This book strictly gives a patient's perspective of the many aspects of life with chronic health conditions and is both informative and inspirational as to how to achieve positive goals, as living with a chronic health condition affects all aspects of your life along with those "others" in your life as well. It's a must read for anyone who lives with or knows someone with a chronic health condition...especially a mysterious disease such as sarcoidosis. There will be something that will touch some aspect in everyone's life!

A good book but not one to read if you are one of the 60% or so who are lucky enough to have a mild form of Sarcoidosis or who ( like me ) don't know how badly they have it. It has lots of information and examples but they are scarey!!
Everyone with Sarcoidosis should have this book. It makes you feel you are not alone and helps you understand how others cope and how we with Sarcoid have so much in common.
I read this book after my father was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in his lung. Very informative.
