Kirsty Mills
What happens when your immune system decides it’s going to kill you?’Get Well Soon’ is a heartfelt and darkly comic account of Kirsty’s experience as a young woman juggling autoimmune disease with the demands of modern life. Since being diagnosed with a couple of chronic conditions and an organ with permanent scarring, Kirsty has spent half her lifetime encountering quirky drug side effects, playing hospital department bingo, and fighting against stigma.From near-death experiences, wearing wigs, and social distancing like life depends on it, through to bad dates, career lows, and weddings without a plus one, Kirsty shares her perspective in the hope that readers - regardless of their health status - can better understand the less obvious ways in which chronic illness can impact daily life.Full of warmth and wit, ’Get Well Soon’ is a memoir on resilience, positivity, and finding hope in the face of despair.
