Synopsis

Learning, Coping, Living sensitively describes a compelling struggle against anxiety dating back to early childhood. Once the author was seen as 'nervous' by physicians and family and increasing neurological symptoms were mischaracterized misfiled. The book chronicles the author's growing confidence, self-esteem and assertiveness, which were keys that unlocked the correct diagnosis and treatment of her dystonia.Bette Levine then took one more forward step into advocacy. Advocacy takes others along a shared path and replaces helplessness with knowledge and power. This book is part of that advocacy and will inspire anyone coping with physical or emotional adversity.Joyce S. Garber, M.D.President-ElectOnondaga County Medical SocietySyracuse, NY

About this title

About the Author:

In a simple straightforward style, Bette Levine discusses her struggles with dystonia. Particularly poignant are the descriptions of her childhood marred by a difficulty reading due to an in diagnosed eye problem and an unexpected clumsiness which beset her from time to time - both probably signs of dystonia. Anyone with dystonia reading the book will surely recognize the frustrations of living with the disease, the difficulties inherent in working with a complex medical system and the joy and relief in finding the 'just right' practitioner.
