While finishing off her degree in Gerontology at Umass Boston, Yvonne Decelis started writing about her life in the hope of showing others with similar conditions that they are not alone in the trials they face. Yvonne goes over her upbringing and life prior to, during, and after diagnosis covering things like medications, “healthful living”, work, SSDI disability benefits, friendships, and relationships, etc. This was also written for people seeking information on how to interact with others who have "invisible illnesses" like MS, Fibro, Post-traumatic Stress injury, etc.

From Yvonne: My interest in the field of aging and disability is almost lifelong. I have always felt that we do not always treat older adults and/or members of the “disabled community” with the respect and kindness they deserve, and I am hoping to help change that.

This book was pretty lacking in my opinion. For a title that includes Fibro in the name, the author doesn’t seem to know much or talk much about it. I have both Fibro (recently diagnosed) and MS and was hoping to hear about someone’s journey with both illnesses - this is a book about MS period end.

Pretty surface level
