You're sick, tired, and stuck navigating a healthcare system that feels impossible to crack. The referrals lead nowhere, wait times are endless, and you're constantly dismissed by doctors who make you feel like it's all in your head. Meanwhile, you're battling insurance denials and pondering over lab results with the nagging feeling that you're alone in this fight.

But you don't have to face your battle alone!

Kristina Kelly, a board certified patient advocate, guides you through the chaos with sass, strategy, and empathy. As a seasoned fighter in her own chronic disease journey, she knows exactly what it feels like to go undiagnosed, be misdiagnosed, and feel abandoned by the healthcare system. With an extended hand, she takes you through the floundering years and reveals how she made it to the other side despite multiple autoimmune and connective tissue diseases (and all their fun sidekicks).

Packed with practical applications, relatable stories, and a healthy dose of humor, this book offers a roadmap to help cut the time to diagnosis and treatment, reduce healthcare anxiety, and reclaim your power.

This Book Reveals How to:

  • Communicate like a pro: Help increase the chances that doctors will listen, take action, and respect your concerns.

  • Reduce appointment anxiety: Get top strategies for getting the most out of every doctor visit.

  • Own your health story: Track symptoms, organize records, and feel more confident managing your care.

  • Find the "unicorn" providers: Identify specialists who truly understand your condition and know when it's time to say goodbye to the ones who don't.

  • Navigate support systems: Learn how to conquer the uncomfortable business of chronically ill conversations, like dealing with unsolicited advice.

This isn't just a book; it's a call to arms for anyone ready to become their own best advocate in a messy healthcare system. Grab your highlighters, throw on your comfy pants, and let's get to work!
