Emily by Emily Smucker Pdf

Emily's the sick one . . . all of the time. Plagued with some sort of cold or fever or bizarre aches and pains for much of her life, Emily thought the dizziness and stomachaches at the start of her senior year were just another bout of "Emily flu." But when they didn't go away, she knew something was seriously wrong. Eventually diagnosed with the rare and incurable West Nile virus, Emily watched her senior year and the future she had planned for go up in smoke. "I want a normal life for a teenager. I want to ache from a long day at work. I want to be so busy that I don't have time to post on my blog. I want to run the race of life instead of being pushed along it in a wheelchair. I want to be on the ride of my life, you know?" Because Truth Is More Fascinating Than Fiction

Healthy Habits Suck by Dayna Lee-Baggley Pdf

Salad instead of steak? Working out? Skipping that second beer or glass of wine? Healthy habits are THE WORST. If you’re someone who gets up every morning and can’t wait for your run, considers eating sweet potatoes a splurge, and sets aside thirty minutes before work to meditate—this book isn’t for you. If you’re someone who thinks about getting up to go for a run but goes back to sleep, regrets last night’s dinner of fast food, and can barely get to work on time—let alone meditate—then this book will help you find the motivation you’ve been looking for to live your healthiest life, even when you don’t want to. With this funny, in-your-face guide, you won’t find advice on how to “enjoy” exercise, or tips for making broccoli and kale taste as good as donuts and ice cream. What you will find are solid skills to help you actually do the healthy things you know you should be doing. Using these skills—based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and neuroscience—you’ll learn to find the motivation you’re really craving to adopt healthy habits, even if they do suck. You’ll also discover how to accept self-criticism, develop self-compassion, and live a more meaningful life. This book not only acknowledges that many healthy habits suck, it uses science to explain why we want the things we want (junk food), crave the things we crave (sugar), and dislike the things we dislike (exercise). At the end, you’ll feel validated in feeling like these things are the absolute worst. But you’ll also find the motivation to do them anyway.

The Stigma of Mental Illness - End of the Story? by Wolfgang Gaebel,Wulf Rössler,Norman Sartorius Pdf

This book makes a highly innovative contribution to overcoming the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness – still the heaviest burden both for those afflicted and those caring for them. The scene is set by the presentation of different fundamental perspectives on the problem of stigma and discrimination by researchers, consumers, families, and human rights experts. Current knowledge and practice used in reducing stigma are then described, with information on the programmes adopted across the world and their utility, feasibility, and effectiveness. The core of the volume comprises descriptions of new approaches and innovative programmes specifically designed to overcome stigma and discrimination. In the closing part of the book, the editors – all respected experts in the field – summarize some of the most important evidence- and experience-based recommendations for future action to successfully rewrite the long and burdensome ‘story’ of mental illness stigma and discrimination.

Under the Medical Gaze by Susan Greenhalgh Pdf

This compelling account of the author's experience with a chronic pain disorder and subsequent interaction with the American health care system goes to the heart of the workings of power and culture in the biomedical domain. It is a medical whodunit full of mysterious misdiagnosis, subtle power plays, and shrewd detective work. Setting a new standard for the practice of autoethnography, Susan Greenhalgh presents a case study of her intense encounter with an enthusiastic young specialist who, through creative interpretation of the diagnostic criteria for a newly emerging chronic disease, became convinced she had a painful, essentially untreatable, lifelong muscle condition called fibromyalgia. Greenhalgh traces the ruinous effects of this diagnosis on her inner world, bodily health, and overall well-being. Under the Medical Gaze serves as a powerful illustration of medicine's power to create and inflict suffering, to define disease and the self, and to manage relationships and lives. Greenhalgh ultimately learns that she had been misdiagnosed and begins the long process of undoing the physical and emotional damage brought about by her nearly catastrophic treatment. In considering how things could go so awry, she embarks on a cogent and powerful analysis of the sociopolitical sources of pain through feminist, cultural, and political understandings of the nature of medical discourse and practice in the United States. She develops fresh arguments about the power of medicine to medicalize our selves and lives, the seductions of medical science, and the deep, psychologically rooted difficulties women patients face in interactions with male physicians. In the end, Under the Medical Gaze goes beyond the critique of biomedicine to probe the social roots of chronic pain and therapeutic alternatives that rely on neither the body-cure of conventional medicine nor the mind-cure of some alternative medicines, but rather a broader set of strategies that address the sociopolitical sources of pain.

Surviving Ms with Soul Intact by Charmaine Zankowicz Pdf

The ups and downs of living courageously with multiple sclerosis is captured through personal journal entries while searching for the right formulas. Progressing from healthy to increasingly dependent, this MSer struggles along. Charmaines honest and candid memoir chronicles the twenty-two-year path of her disease and the gifts of family, God, and perseverance. Through journal entries knitted together in brilliance, this memoir radiates daily resilience, detailed reason, and definite redemption. The words on these pages are a shining example of success amid suffering, and display a beauty far beyond brokenness. Writing with humor and wit, Ms. Zankowicz has created a masterpiece. Aime Wren BA Eng. Lit. Profound, honest, heart wrenching, brimming with joy and life; full of family values, not preachy, inspirational gratitude. Shirley Buchanan LL.B Charmaine Zankowicz shares her journey from infancy to maturity in both her faith and her struggle with MS. Along the way she proves that being tested in the furnace of affliction (Isa. 48:10) is a sure fire way to prove what you are actually capable of. It is also an example to others of how to follow in that tradition. Charmaine has used stories from the past along with insight from the present to illustrate what real hope looks like. Her story inspired the painting I did for the cover of this book Charmaine; always reaching beyond her grasp, now pulling others along behind her out of the darkness into the light. Adversity can be a wedge that drives us from God and hope or a magnet that draws us towards God and hope. Charmaines book is an encouragement to new Christians and especially to anyone who is struggling with chronic pain whether it is MS or any other physical or emotional difficulty. The "Furnace of Affliction" has helped Charmaine push out the edges of the envelope and embrace life outside her comfort zone she is real and she is inspirational read and reach for the light! Susan Rumford B.A., M.A. Th:S.C.P. (Counsellor / Psychotherapist) The truth of what goes on in the mind, body and soul of a woman battling MS is shared in this book. It's not for the faint of heart. It will multiply your faith, increase your resolve; and if your belief is weak, don't worry - you can piggyback on Charmaine's. - Gunner

Annual Review of Nursing Research, Volume 18, 2000 by Joyce J. Fitzpatrick, PhD, MBA, RN, FAAN Pdf

This volume of ARNR addresses the wide-range of chronic illnesses that nurses encounter in their work. The format is the same as previous volumes, with each chapter presenting a careful and systematic review all available research on specific topics. Important issues in chronic issues are reflected throughout, such as a prolonged and uncertain course of illness, lack of easy resolution, rarity of complete cure, frequent unknown etiology, and multiple risk factors. The book ends with a milestone chapter by Susan Donaldson which overviews significant breakthroughs in nursing research over the past 40 years. Volume 18 introduces a new dimension to the Review. In order to better reflect the increasing specialization of nursing, a nurse expert in a particular specialty area has been selected to edit each volume. Dr. Joyce Fitzpatrick continues to oversee the Review as Series Editor. The majority of each Review will be devoted to the focus area, with one or two chapters addressing important research issues that are of interest to all researchers.
