Review: Misdiagnosed: One Woman's Tour Of--And Escape From--Healthcareland

Misdiagnosed: One Woman's Tour Of--And Escape From--Healthcareland by Jody Berger

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I really wasn't sure what to expect from this book. It turned out to be quite an emotional story which leaves you thinking and asking yourself questions.
Follow Jody in her journey through her quest to get answers and then come to terms with her diagnosis. Her Emotions as she tries to understand what it is that is wrong with her, what it is that her body is doing to her or telling her.
This story highlights just how an illness can be misdiagnosed, and how easy it is to take what the experts are telling you as the right answer.
After struggling myself for many years trying to get my own illness diagnosed. I could relate to some of what was being told in this stroy. Trying to get dr's to listen to you and take what you are saying seriously.

Very well written and dispite the subject and enjoyable but emotional read.

Jody started asking questions, and a year and countless tests later she discovered that "M.S." was nothing more than a gluten allergy.
