Leslie suggested this book when she was here. It's the true story of a young woman's incredible journey through a very terrible disease.
It is full of facts and science - but is nonetheless gripping and compelling reading. The author was a journalist for the New York Post when a rare auto-immune disease struck and upended her life.
Medical science was able to save her - but not before doctors and family members were persistent in their efforts to track down the cause of the very strange and dangerous symptoms she was suffering from.
I am especially intrigued by the apparent connection, in some cases, to autism!
I'm sure as more research happens and more awareness is created, fascinating science will give us some much-needed answers!!
