It’s time for a little celebration. Our book is now in stock at amazon. Hooray! If you pre-ordered the book you should receive your copy soon. And, if you haven’t ordered it yet, we hope you will.

Rosalind and I wrote this book to start a conversation, and to support women with autoimmune illnesses who want to continue to stay in the work force. On a larger scale, we’d like to assist companies that want to keep talented people in the workforce who happen to also live with the unpredictability of an autoimmune disease.

There is the start of a trend in this direction, with some organizations investing in comprehensive wellness programs, some which include follow-up coaching for as long as a year. The Center for Preventive Medicine and Mayo Clinic Health Solutions both offer services to work with such companies. Unfortunately, at least as far as I can tell, the emphasis is still on more easily detectable and preventable chronic illnesses.

I hope that our book will give you ideas and courage to continue working - if you want to - and some tools to start to raise awareness and interest, even if only with your current employer.
