'A really invaluable guide delivered with honesty and an easy to read format. I would recommend this book to anyone currently living or is a partner/friend/ family member of someone living with this largely misunderstood long term condition.' Reader review 'This book should be given to anyone who is diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis ASAP. It is [a] very frank and honest detailed account - It explains how it may or will affect you and your family and goes on to explain how you can manage to live a full life, even though you may think that it is the end of the world. Excellent book.' --Reader review
