Some of the noblest health battles are fought in isolation while others go viral and capture the hearts of millions.If you have a chronic condition, you not only suffer from the symptoms themselves, but from the underwhelming response to that suffering. You may have had loved ones and providers who could not or would not hear the alarms telling you that something was very wrong — probably because the exchange of high-fives over your “perfect lab work” drowned out the sound of your moans.The lack of support is no joke, though. The impact on patient treatment can lead to physical damage as well as a broken spirit. Whether you have no diagnosis or a poor prognosis, an invisible illness or a disability that draws stares, “DRAWING Comfort” delivers overdue support from an unlikely hero.Universal underdog and the author’s cartoon alter-ego, Lucky Starzinsky, guides you through an unforgettable journey that will forever change the way you see yourself. Brimming with art and journaling prompts designed to heal your unseen battles and honor your unsung valor, this chronic illness memoir was written to inspire you to appreciate YOUR story.Jam-packed with soul-soothing insights, inspirational true stories, whimsical diary drawings, and laced with serious comic relief, “DRAWING Comfort” is as entertaining as it is empowering. Learn to navigate encounters with well-intentioned and transcend the absurdity. Rekindle your spirit, restore your sanity, and reclaim your dignity as a Chronic Health Hero.
