Tender Points by Amy Berkowitz

5.0

This was quite possibly the best and most resonant book I’ve ever read about chronic illness. I have a lot of thoughts about it but I’m not sure I can articulate them right now, but I will just say: it was very empowering, as someone who’s struggled with chronic illness that has enormously impacted my life and what I’m capable of, to see many of the things I’ve found myself thinking about written out this way. Just because you deal with a condition or illness that medicine doesn’t understand or know how to treat yet doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Your pain is real. Your struggle matters. Your story matters.
