About When There Is No Cure: How To Thrive While Living

Product Description How do you live well when the physical foundation of your life is crumbling? This is the challenge for millions who live with diseases for which there is no cure. These incurable ailments produce a life of constant pain, fatigue, numbness, dizziness, and other debilitating symptoms that create chronic suffering. Can you thrive in life while experiencing the suffering persistent sickness provokes? In When There Is No Cure, Dr. Craig Svensson guides readers to a path of thriving when life’s journey includes an incurable ailment. Drawing on his expertise as a pharmacist-scientist, as well as a fellow sufferer with several incurable diseases, he helps patients steer through the twists and turns of life with chronic illness. Review "I wanted to cry just reading the table of contents. The author gets it! He understands the lonely path of those of us with chronic illness." --Elizabeth, a patient with lupus   "This is a book that I wholeheartedly recommend for fellow sufferers of a chronic disease. It takes the reader on a journey that covers many of the concerns a person with a chronic disease has; such as how you can handle your illness, how to interact with doctors, how to handle other people's responses to your illness, and how others can help. I will use this as a guide in my journey with my chronic disease." --Lisa, a patient with dermatomyositis   "You can feel the pain of his maladies and yet the author's powerful commitment to not allow it to affect the responsibilities of a father, a husband, or an educator. Most of all, I was moved by his heart in honestly sharing the journey that it might offer encouragement to those who find themselves similarly afflicted when there is no cure. This book should be required reading by every medical student." --Edward Langston, MD, family physician (retired) and former chairman of the Board of Trustees for the American Medical Association   "This book touched my heart. It is filled with practical advice and hope for patients and healthcare providers. Very pertinent and encompassing, it is filled with pearls of wisdom. This book should be on the reading list of all who care for, live with, or know individuals with chronic suffering. His journey and acquired wisdom are a reminder that people can thrive despite a chronic disorder and that indeed 'life is more than good health.'"  --Charles E.
