Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Terry-Ann Allen, and I’ve finally came to the realization that I am a precious daughter in the sight of God, one who truly matters and has a powerful purpose in the kingdom of Christ to shake hell of it's tail. How was I to know this, when I saw myself as the total opposite? Well, it was through the most shattering and discouraging moments of my life, such as close to death sickness, painful heartbreak, humiliation, being despised and rejected. Also, I was often looked on as the black sheep because of my mistakes... but it was during these turbulent moments of my life, where I realized that God was using my rich pain to fuel my rich testimony and purposeful ministry in him to help others out of the same pit of self-doubt, hopelessness, that I was in. God has turned my mess into a message, I am a product of his grace and I’m thankful to him for it all. I'm ROYALTY and my father is king. “A Caterpillar doesn’t become a butterfly overnight, the caterpillar has to undergo a process of metamorphism in order to become that beautiful butterfly”

Download or read book Unwell Women written by Elinor Cleghorn and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trailblazing, conversation-starting history of women’s health—from the earliest medical ideas about women’s illnesses to hormones and autoimmune diseases—brought together in a fascinating sweeping narrative. Elinor Cleghorn became an unwell woman ten years ago. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In Unwell Women, Elinor Cleghorn traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect. The result is an authoritative and groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between women and medical practice, from the "wandering womb" of Ancient Greece to the rise of witch trials across Europe, and from the dawn of hysteria as a catchall for difficult-to-diagnose disorders to the first forays into autoimmunity and the shifting understanding of hormones, menstruation, menopause, and conditions like endometriosis. Packed with character studies and case histories of women who have suffered, challenged, and rewritten medical orthodoxy—and the men who controlled their fate—this is a revolutionary examination of the relationship between women, illness, and medicine. With these case histories, Elinor pays homage to the women who suffered so strides could be made, and shows how being unwell has become normalized in society and culture, where women have long been distrusted as reliable narrators of their own bodies and pain. But the time for real change is long overdue: answers reside in the body, in the testimonies of unwell women—and their lives depend on medicine learning to listen.
