Definitely not the *most* fun reading I could be doing, but here we are. I was diagnosed earlier this week with Hashimoto's disease and I found out yesterday that I also have Lupus. I'm not going to lie, I cried a little. I've been sick for years but never really taken seriously, so having answers is scary but good.
Anyway, I'm looking for all the resources because knowing the ins and outs comforts me. Any reading recs from reputable people?

Suet624 Oh gosh. I understand completely your need to find out all you can. At least you finally know what you‘re dealing with. 5d
ShelleyBooksie Big hugs!!! That is a lot to digest. I love your photobomber ♡ 5d

Cailey_Mac This is a good first step! I also have Hashimotos, and recommend doing slow changes to help incorporate them easier and make them an easier habit. Learning as much as you can definitely helps. Each person is different and certain foods may trigger you vs someone else, so be mindful after eating to see how you ultimately feel. This helped me feel more confident in my own journey, and just know you‘re not alone!💕 (edited) 5d
CatLass007 Rachel, it‘s good to know that you‘re finally being taken seriously. Having a doctor who knows what‘s going on with your health and educating yourself as much as possible is important. Litsy is a supportive and caring community. It‘s good that you know that sharing here is safe. And it‘s good that you have such an attentive nurse in your pup. 5d

TheLudicReader Sorry to hear the diagnosis, but I think knowing at least answers some questions and helps you plan for the future. Sending positive energy your way. 5d

I didn't realize Freida McFadden wrote funny books, until I came across this audiobook on Libby. It was a funny, light-hearted listen. While I did like it, it was a totally different book then what I am used to reading from her. 3⭐

A collection of the authors personal patients‘ stories for both their lives and deaths. The author is a hospice nurse who shares a special bond with her patients as she helps ease their pain as they near the end of their life. So many passages in this book had me on the verge of tears AND calling my mom to bawl my eyes out to her after reading about a mother and daughter interaction😭 tough read but shows how important hospice is for patients!

#TuesdayTunes I love it!

My current hyperfixation is the band First Aid Kit, two Swedish sisters who sing this achingly beautiful folk rock Americana music. Gorgeous harmonies, contemplative lyrics and lively arrangements make this album emotionally stimulating and just so fun to listen to.

Bonus points from this SoCal listener for their song “29 Palms Highway” 🤩

These books have been on my shelf for 6 and 4 years.
This is what motivated my 1:1 fiction:non-fiction challenge this year.

Time to move off the TBR shelf!

Ruthiella Good luck! 👍 2mo
