Fabulous, as expected. I loved the mix of memoir and reporting. The nerd in me loved the neurology lesson and history of psych!

this was recommended to me when I was on my neuro rotation and im so grateful for that rec bc this has been sitting on my bookshelf for about a year & I’m not sure when I otherwise would have gotten to it! this book reads like a well-done documentary that instantly catches your attention. so now I’m eager to watch the movie.

won’t spoil the diagnosis but what a heartbreaking journey these pts go thru and I hope research on it continues to advance

3.5 stars

It was an interesting read and definitely one I could kind of relate to (I too have had to deal with doctors being unable to diagnose me for months only to have it be revealed to be some rare autoimmune disease). I kinda zoned out during the science talk.

Super interesting story about a girl who fights to find a diagnosing for her mysterious illness.

First 100 pages was a really interesting medical mystery. The rest just dragged on and wasn't really very insightful. Disappointing in the end but still an interesting read! I'm sure it'll be a great movie
