★★★★★I picked this up because I was drowning in medical terminology and anxiety after my diagnosis. It did help me understand the basic mechanics of ADHR — I finally get why my bones hurt and why I'm always exhausted. The tone is friendly, but at times I found it a bit too conversational and repetitive. It glossed over some of the harder decisions around newer treatments, and I still felt unsure about some risk details. Still, the chapter on questions to ask my doctor was a genuine lifesaver. Good starting point, but not the complete answer.
