He put it better than I ever could have
Deric Longdon and I have something in common: we've both lived with strong-minded, independent women with mysterious debilitating illnesses. (My SO had myotonic muscular dystrophy which went undiagnosed until she was in in forties.)
We have something else in common: we both had a lot of fun. Deric writes about it in this book, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
