Long Illness: A Practical Guide to Surviving, Healing, and Thriving | Meghan Jobson, Juliet Morgan

pick

Thanks to Hachette books for sending this spoonie a book on long illness. These authors go over common-sense strategies for dealing with your illness. They cover broad categories (like migraines and GI illness) with tips on finding and communicating with your care team. Then they cover what they‘ve found useful for patients in terms of treatment from supplements to exercise. This is more of a holistic book and won‘t necessarily help you ⬇️

Megabooks diagnose yourself, but I appreciated that these MDs shared ideas that look at chronically ill people whole people looking to live improved lives while living with their illness. #HBSocialClub 1y

Megabooks This is my July #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks ! I forgot to tag you in my #bookspin, but I read it, too.

The Guide: A novel

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! This sounds like a solid read. Dealing with long-term health issues can be so overwhelming! 1y

Long Illness: A Practical Guide to Surviving, Healing, and Thriving | Meghan Jobson, Juliet Morgan

Not even my Elizabeth Warren bookend has a plan for this over-ambitious TBR! I definitely won‘t finish all of these, and once again, I‘m surprised by the two chosen. The Guide I acquired this week from a hardcover sale at my local indie, Bluestocking Social in Evansville, IN. Love them! Long Illness is a gifted copy from #HachetteBooks, and this spoonie is looking forward to it! #HBSocialClub #bookspin #doublespin

Soubhiville That‘s a good looking shelf! But definitely too much to conquer in a month (for me anyway!). Enjoy your spins! 1y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Good luck!! 1y

Librariana That is a *BEAUTIFUL* rainbow TBR! The hues and arrangement are so visually soothing 🥰 Good luck with your goal and happy reading 😊 1y

squirrelbrain Gorgeous shelfie! ❤️ 1y

Megabooks @Soubhiville me too! It‘s like that plate you make when you‘re eyes are bigger than your stomach. (Do they say that in Texas too??) 😁 1y

Megabooks @TheAromaofBooks thanks!! Love this challenge!! 💜 1y

Megabooks @Librariana thank you!! 🥰🥰 I love a rainbow shelf, too! This bookshelf is in front of the chair I read in at night, so I like having it visually appealing. 1y

Megabooks @squirrelbrain thank you!! 💜💜 1y

Soubhiville @Megabooks oh yes, they say that everywhere I‘ve lived 😆 1y

Long Illness: A Practical Guide to Surviving, Healing, and Thriving | Meghan Jobson, Juliet Morgan

I‘m getting books in about 3x as fast as I‘m reading them! 😂 Behind these books is a mystery bulb that my mom planted in the fall. Any guesses?

My #botm and #aardvark boxes have arrived, so I‘m very excited for those. Thank you to #HachetteBooks for the hardcover copy of Long Illness. As soon as I can get a breath to focus on my own issues, it‘s at the top of my list!! And I couldn‘t resist End of the World House from the library.

Regular: The Ultimate Guide to Taming Unruly Bowels and Achieving Inner Peace | Tamara Duker Freuman

pick

Freuman‘s goal is to help readers get to the bottom of why their bowels aren‘t moving correctly. This is a great read if you‘re struggling to be regular or, like me, have issues that aren‘t being resolved. I took her quiz, and it lead me to the same two my doctor did. I read both chapters, and also the section on Celiac, which I already know I have. Her information was up-to-date, concise, and a great place to start with your provider.

Megabooks I think this has spurred me to go ahead and get the additional testing my doctor wants even though it‘s a pain to coordinate. Thanks to #HachetteBooks for sending me this #ARC. #HBSocialClub 2y

squirrelbrain Sounds really useful. 2y

Many, many thanks to #HachetteBooks sending me this book about long-haul Covid and autoimmune conditions, two things that are the bane of my existence now! The authors, both UCSF-trained physicians, also cover other types of chronic illness. This is heading to the top of my February TBR! #HBSocialClub

US Release date May 9, 2023

Very excited to be a part of #HBSocialClub!

Lmk if you want to be tagged in my review.
