I was diagnosed in 2010 with lupus with a form of lupus called Systemic Lupus erythematosus, which is the most common form of lupus across the world, and it affects 90 percent more women than people born female than men.
How did your own journey for answers in regards to your health lead to the writing of this book? Her earnest quest to keep other women and people born female from suffering the same physical, and mental, anguish she experienced due to the legacy of under-research in women’s medicine is exactly what makes Unwell Women so informative, yet heartbreakingly human.Ĭleghorn shares a bit of unique insight into her journey from unwell woman to author, and her hope for a world better served by the medical system. VIA TWITTER kindness remains evident in the kinship she found with other unwell women throughout history as she researched for her book of the same name, and her desire to tell their stories and the brutality they suffered under the medical establishment. Cleghorn oozes sincerity, which probably allowed her to not only pursue her own diagnosis but share the history behind why so many other women struggle to get a proper label for their ailments. If anything, she grasps the exact opposite a relentless desire to make people feel less alone.
In fact, selfishness doesn’t seem like a quality that she possesses in great quantities.
Elinor Cleghorn didn’t publish her book, Unwell Women, just for her own sake.
