The book is quite repetitive, but I think that repetition conveys & mirrors exactly what it is like to have an undiagnosed illness. When I had undiagnosed lyme for 5 years, I went round & round the same paths with different drs. It's not linear; it's often maddening, disappointing, exhausting.

A “journey” is something you choose. No one chooses chronic illness.
