Ireland is expected to stay mainly dry and cloudy. Winds will be light and easterly to north-easterly, but fresh along the North Sea coast. Minimum temperatures will be C in the north and C in the south. Mostly overcast with widespread showers, some becoming thundery at times, although later on a few areas will see drier breaks and sun may peak out later over East Anglia. First, her career as a sports writer and journalist is rudely interrupted by a severe bout of colitis for which she seems to receive little help from those in the medical profession.

I gu I enjoyed reading this book about a kind of quirky, sometimes over the top personality. I guess England is not much better than the United States despite having a system of socialized medicine. Her experiences with doctors, hospitals, drugs, and surgery make you shudder in sympathy and horror. It is amazing she survived to write this book is all I have to say about that. After having life altering surgical interventions and parts of her body re-arranged, Juliette still manages to live a pretty full life, complete with psycho boyfriends and an obsession with "rockability," music.

She is then stricken with another illness which renders her barely able to cope, but still is lucky enough to meet the man of her dreams, all of our dreams actually. I wanna move to France. However, if you are like me, you will relate to this woman's story because it is about struggling through days of sometimes unbearable physical pain and immense suffering yet somehow going on with your life in between. Kudos to one hell of a woman. Read read her story. You will be humbled. Oh my goodness, such an emotional read. I laughed so hard and moments later found myself sobbing.

Good luck Juliette, your situation struck a chord and I so wish that life could become easier, you will Oh my goodness, such an emotional read. Good luck Juliette, your situation struck a chord and I so wish that life could become easier, you will remain in my thoughts.

I have had a remarkably pain-free life and can't even begin to imagine what Wills has lived through with ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, scoliosis and eventually even more crappy things. Seeing it written down really helped me to understand how exhausting, depressing and even suicidal she felt. What's remarkable is that through all of this, her sense of humour never seems to fail her.

Her parents are absolute stars and most of her friends seem to have been rocks of solid support. Her taste in men seems to reflect a shocking lack of self-worth as she picks losers, liars and utter space-cadets. Her early life as a journalist was really interesting and at times very funny and serves to contrast against just how awful it worked out later. Whilst there are times when reading about not sleeping for weeks on end, all kinds of bodily 'gunk' falling out of her butt and constant pain does get a bit challenging and - dare I say - repetitive.

Her apparent bad treatment at the hands of uncaring nurses is shocking but very believable.

My step-father had to have a length of bowel removed during emergency surgery and ended up with an ostomy. Having read of Wills' hatred of her stoma, I'm left with far greater admiration for how my step-father took it in his stride and got on with life with 'Billy' the Ileostomy. I found some of the ostomy stuff absolutely fascinating and gory - the experience of watching mussels and raw oysters squeezing their way out of her 'insides on the outside' was particularly memorable. The fact it's only one I knocked off is testimony to how good the book is. Firstly for poor editing; a journalist shouldn't make such mistakes and at times they were distracting.

Secondly, for probably alienating quite a lot of her potential readers with similar conditions who she found on online fora and described multiple times as 'illiterate' though I did recognise her comments about the negativity of such groups. And finally, I found her disparaging IMO comments about people who get cancer and how they have an easier time of it, deeply ignorant and unnecessary. This shouldn't be a competition about who has the crappiest life - especially when you're just had a go at online forum members for competing with one another about just how terrible their lives are.

Picked up this book as I too have a chronic invisible illness and I wanted to see how a write would describe her pain, fatigue and all the other symptoms, thinking that I could maybe use some of her words to help my family and friends better understand my condition.

I think it worked to a certain extent - my mum is also going to read this book to try and see exactly what I feel and experience on a daily basis.

I found this well written, engaging and honest, a really great book to recommend to family and friends of any one of the conditions that Juliette suffers from, or indeed potentially any chronic invisible illness.

May 03, Naomi rated it really liked it Shelves: Wills shares her story of learning to live with chronic debilitating excruciatingly painful illness, the sharp contrast between her life before and after the illnesses came into their fullness, and the reality that there is no getting better and learning to cope with that. Angry - and with plenty of reason - this is a fine read for others who have developed one or more chronic debilitating illnesses there is so often more than one!

An emotional book that will have you laughing one moment and tears in your eyes the next. Would recommend this to anyone who has had to live with personally or see a loved one deal with a chronic illness on daily basis. A fabulous insightful read. I really enjoyed this book. I originally borrowed it from Amazon Prime to hear about her way of dealing with AS, as I have recently been diagnosed myself. It didn't take long though to get caught up in her romances an wacky ways.
