Dear Nicole,
I read your comment late last night and it made me cry. I felt I had touched your heart, helped you and achieved what I had set out to do by opening up my life to the public. I hope that your family will have a better undersatinding of your pain and that you will feel their love and support. Thank you for buying and reading my book. That all takes time and energy when you are are sick. Please continue to pass the word if it’s at all possible through Amazon reviews and facebook because I think together we can all make a difference. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are ever in need, in pain or just having a bad day.
Your friend Karen

if you know some one with rheumatoid arthritis or is someone with rheumatoid arthritis you must read this book! And if you or someone you know is struggling with many of the other chronic diseases you too will find yourself inside this book. It’s inspirational, a book I will read again and again!! I bought several copies so that I can pass them around the friends and family, who have a hard time understanding my illness of r.a. Thank you Karen, through your words I finally believe that my family will have a better understanding of this chronic and painful disease we suffer from. I want to thank you again for changing my world for the better, giving me strength, and having something to share with my family. Best memoir I have read since ‘Eat, Pray, Love!’ P.s. thanks for adding another place I must visit before I die – Australia (your love of your country makes me want to visit there)

Dear Di,
Thank you for your email. These responses to my book keep me going. Your final sentence of your comment tells me that reading ‘Enemy Within’ was inspirational. Your voice in your writing says ” I am luckier than a lot of other sufferers.” I congratulate you for your strength and resilience. Thank you for reading my book. I hope you will recommend it to others so we can all work together as a community to inspire others when the pain gets bad.
Take good care
Karen

Hello Karen
I heard your interview with Chris Smith last week, bought the book Saturday morning, and finished it that night – unputdownable! I related to your story so well, but I’m still not sure whether it inspired me or scared the hell out of me.
I was diagnosed with RA 3 years ago at the age of 52. It was a huge shock, as I’ve always been so healthy. So far the aggressive treatment (methotrexate, plaquenil, etc) is holding the disease at bay. I’m just hoping it keeps doing it’s job.
For me, the hardest thing has been to accept that I can’t do the things I’ve always done – especially walking any distance. Even with the treatment, I still feel as if there is a marble under the ball of my foot. Nevertheless, I think I’m luckier that a lot of other sufferers, am still working and still playing golf – even if I do use a motorized cart.
Cheers
Di
