With vulnerability and honesty, he describes the dark days, the struggles, and the doubts that crept in as he navigated this new reality. I personally had heard of POTS but had no idea the impact and difficulties the disease presents. I found the book so interesting and Dr. Laurie’s faith and perseverance to be an inspiration. As a person who also struggles with chronic (but different) health issues I was inspired and motivated through reading this book.
