I assume some readers of Carrying The Black Bag are personally affected by chronic health concerns either by being personally affected or having a loved one so afflicted. Or perhaps, like me, you are just interested in what can be learned about the human condition by looking closely at someone affected by a neurological disorder. There is always benefit in observing model behavior that we can emulate.
In any event, I wish to link the reader to additional information on medical research, caregiving skills, resources, and general information on illnesses described in my book. This may at least be a starting point to learn more about various maladies and how best to cope with their effects.
