ReMission Possible; Yours, If You Chose To Accept It ... is a valuable look into the process of healing socially, emotionally and physically after remission is achieved. Life does not just go back to the way it was before your illness. Recognizing this and moving through it can help you adjust to the new life that you now face. ReMission Possible;Yours, If You Chose To Accept It, is about a patients journey, (one year leading up to an IV-Infusion treatment that put author Barby Ingle into remission and one year of what happened after) of health, social; and mental adjustments. ReMission Possible is a follow up book to RSD in Me, but also stands alone as a story that you too can achieve. It is a motivational guide to being your own best advocate, "The Chief of Staff of Your Own Medical Team" as Barby likes to say. RSD in Me and ReMission Possible are wide reaching with one in three Americans dealing with a chronic pain condition of some sort.
I have been battling a Neurological condition for about 9 years now. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy is a progress autoimmune condition that affects the Autonomic Nervous System and needs to be treated early so that disability doesn't take over. I know first hand how hard it is to continue looking for relief, perfect answers, and then coming up against healthcare professionals who blow you off or don't believe what you are saying could actually be what your describing. As I search for a cure, I have grown emotionally and spiritually. Even after seeing over 100 healthcare professionals, having major surgery I didn't need, complications such as internal bleeding, medication interactions, kidney stones, tumors grow in my mouth and so much more - I did not give up or give in! I was tested to my limits and realized they are past the bounds I placed on myself. I had to become the Chief of Staff of my Own Medical Team. If I can do it, anyone can.
