One of the many blessings RA has given me - my love for reading. I devour health and wellness books capturing information, saving delicious recipes, and connecting with authors over shared experiences. The more I read, the more empowered I feel. Empowered to make my own health decisions and empowered to heal. These are a few of my favorite autoimmune books and I hope you have a similar experience in reading them!
