Sharing a Resource

A friend of mine — and fellow writer — has published a workbook for people living with persistent illness.

Managing Persistent Illness is a guide designed to support patients with persistent illnesses on their journey to health through compassion, encouragement, organization, and education. The book is like a cheerleader and a “how to” book wrapped into one.

Topics include:

◊ Preparing for appointments

◊ Adapting to new limitations

◊ Managing expectations and overcoming setbacks

◊ Tracking symptoms

◊ Organizing medications

◊ Planning for emergencies

◊ Learning about insurance coverage, claims, and government assistance programs

◊ Keeping track of expenses for taxes and financial planning
