I could relate to this memoir on so many levels. Susannah begins having unexplained symptoms that leave her doctors puzzled and her family very worried. Her symptoms seem to be more psychiatric than physical but her family and boyfriend hold out hope and continue to ask questions and seek medical care. Once the doctors unravel the mystery she describes her treatments and her feelings about how she has changed since the onset of the illness. Highly recommend.
Wow, what a crazy story (no pun intended). It just goes to show how much we don't yet understand about our minds and bodies. She was incredibly fortunate to have doctors who were able to keep asking questions, and also a great family support system.

It is really hard to write a memoir because it is someone’s story so I often will rate it on writing style and how interesting the story is. Unfortunately, I feel so the story was not very interesting and was just kind of matter-of-fact.

Very interesting and I loved the authors articulation of struggles with brain fog, chronic illness and her feeling disconnected from her own self due to her disease. A very informative book as well when you consider that her diagnosis/prognosis may have been extremely different a few years earlier.
