Szasz, Suzy Lupus: Living With It: Why You Don't Have to be Healthy to be Happy
Prometheus Books 1995 1573920231 / 9781573920230 Trade Paperback Very Good Ex-Library
Very-good ex-lirbis copy. Usual library markings. Inner pages are free from writing and tears. Tight spine, bright pages. 243 pages. - A courageous account of living with a chronic illness, a powerful lesson in self-determination, and a personal declaration of independence. Rating 5 Stars! from Doody From The Critics Prerana Panchal This book provides a patient's look at systemic lupus erythematosus in the form of an autobiographical journey that includes a struggle with both the chronic and life-threatening features of the disease. The author wishes to encourage other patients with this serious illness to take control of their lives and reach their full human potential. The book will prove useful not only for lupus patients but all those with chronic illnesses, their families and friends. Health professionals stand to learn much about dealing with intelligent patients and everyone will gain from the sensitive insights provided into the father-daughter relationship. The book is written in a clear and enjoyable style that will be appealing to its diverse audience. There are lucid explanations of the medical aspects of lupus and practical advice on issues such as health insurance. Physicians can be confident in recommending this book to their patients with lupus. The author enriches her readers by introducing them to Flannery O'Connor, one of the most important American Catholic literary figures of the 20th century. Relevant to this book, Ms. O'Connor lived and eventually died with lupus at the young age of 39. The author expresses the hope that she can achieve what has been ascribed to O'Connor by one of her critics: She lived with it (lupus) in such a way that she enabled people to forget about it entirely. Flannery O'Connor's medium was raw fiction. Suzy Szasz uses autobiography as an equally effective literary tool to reach out directly to patients
