★★★★★I was given this diagnosis two weeks ago and felt like I'd been handed a sentence without a translator. Chapter 1 finally explained what my T cells and NK cells even do, in language that wasn't trying to impress anyone. It also called out the self-blame spiral before I could fall into it. The section on what's actually alarming versus just annoying has already saved me a panicked midnight call to my doctor. I've read it twice. It's not cheerful, but it's honest and it calmed me down when nothing else did.
