Book Review: As My Body Attacks Itself

https://www.brigantesenglishwalks.com/knhx98o In December , I was approached via e-mail  by a woman, Kelly Morgan Dempewolf, PhD, with Sjögren’s syndrome, who asked if she could send me a free copy of her book (that is my disclaimer by the way) Tramadol Uk Buy As My Body Attacks Itself, in order for me to do a book review on this blog.

As a patient who published her own book on the illness, of course I was instantly intrigued as to what she had to say in this book. Here is the  book description taken from the back cover of the paperback:
