And how do I avoid the bad ones?* Can I really trust the modern healthcare system?* Is it normal to constantly have bizarre, new symptoms?* Why does taking my meds make me feel worse, and is there a way around that?* and many more...The answers to these questions may surprise you. But whatever invisible illness you're facing, you CAN still have a full, happy life.Don't settle for COPING when you could be LIVING!
