About this title

From the Author

Every person is an individual, every illness is very different, but whatever your situation I hope my book may be a lifeline, a chance to explore how you feel, find new ways to cope with difficult feelings and a valuable resource guide of practical information. Whether you suffer from an illness universally regarded as 'serious' or you suffer from what others regard as 'minor' illnesses which, nevertheless, result in relentless, constant or unremitting symptoms over a long period of time, I believe this book will be of value and have something new to say. I have written about health for many years and have seen serious illness close up - and many people have written to me about their experiences. I hope this, my first book, is of some use, especially to those who have no one to talk to, no mum or dad to give you a cuddle and for those who think no-one really understands or cares how you feel. This book is written especially for you. I also hope it will be of! value to carers everywhere - you have the hardest job and my greatest respect. Barbara Baker
