When it comes to living with a chronic condition, author Shelley Peterman Schwarz knows what she talking about: she's had a chronic disease for years. Using her own experiences to develop tips, techniques, and useful "shortcuts" for daily tasks, Schwarz has written a book that's a blessing for those struggling to manage their arthritic lives. Constant frustration with mundane tasks can take a toll psychologically — as well as physically — and so, in effect, these tips help not only with the accomplishment of daily tasks but with general stress levels. Ideal for both those afflicted with arthritis and for healthcare professionals and caregivers, this guide is a one-stop resource replete with up-to-date references, addresses, phone numbers, and websites for chronic arthritis support.
