E-Books →Long Illness A Practical Guide to Surviving, Healing, and Thriving

Having a long illness-from autoimmune disease to dysautonomia, long COVID to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) to chronic pain or depression-can mean a long struggle to get adequate care. From explaining symptoms over and over again to doctors and family members to making sure you are receiving the correct diagnosis and treatment, having a long illness can be a fulltime job. And it's a hard one.
Drs. Meghan Jobson and Juliet Morgan specialize in treating long illness; from their work on the frontlines with long COVID, they know that all long illnesses share many of the same hallmarks. Using evidence-based integrative medicine, they have put together a program that legitimizes long illness and validates concerns where other physicians often dismiss them. In Long Illness, you'll find an unparalleled, holistic approach to healing, with valuable information on:The foundations of long illness and what it means for your lifeHow to work with your medical team to get the care you needCommon symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, headaches, difficulty breathing, digestive disruption, insomnia, and moreA wide range of accessible healing techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), traditional Eastern medicine, mindfulness practices, and emerging therapiesYour mental health with long illness and how to manage itLong term solutions
