Too many people think of arthritis as a minor annoyance, stiff joints and nagging aches and pains - an inevitable part of growing older. But anyone who suffers from arthritis knows it is more than minor: its pain can be intense and debilitating, and it can severely limit one's capabilities and change one's life. It also is not exclusive to the elderly: athletes, accident victims, and even children can be afflicted with this chronic, incurable disease.
Amye Leong offers hope and inspiration to anyone affected by any form of arthritis. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at eighteen, she was crippled and wheelchair-bound within eight years.
Told with humour and honesty, 'Get A Grip' is the poignant and inspiring account of Leong's struggle with arthritis, and of her ultimate triumph. Written by someone who has challenged the disease for more than twenty years, this is an emotional, uplifting story, and a motivating handbook for coping with arthritis on a day-by-day basis.
