Lichen Sclerosus: Body, Mind & Spirit Practices to Heal the Stress of LS

The media could not be loaded. When I was diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosis, that’s what I was told. “You have lichen sclerosis.” Then I found out this. Then I found out that. Years later I had no idea how to explain it to my partner other than, “it’s not contagious.”Now I know it’s an autoimmune disease. Now I know what can cause flares. Now I know a hell of a lot more, and most of it I already knew before reading this book but I’ve had this diagnosis since 2005. I’ve had symptoms since I was a child and the memories associated with that had me think otherwise. I am so glad there are books like these to help us normalize what’s going on in our vulva.As she states several times in this book, she is not a doctor, if you suspect this is going on with you, do some research and find your closest resources and do not be scared. They love finding people who need this information. I now have a specialist, since my diagnosis GYN passed away and it’s so reassuring to have someone who UNDERSTANDS!! Who encourages questions and is there for me. This book is empowering to be because I’ve lived it. Thank you, Stephanie Hrehirchuk for writing this book. We need more information.

Good book

Every person struggling with an auto immune disorder should read this. I myself recently diagnosed with LS went on a very emotional journey, this book was my guide to feeling like I have a wonderful chance at remission and health.Thank you, StephanieYou saved me so much grief.

Educational, supportive, ideas to help, etc. make it a NY Times best seller book. Medical community too lacking in info to help us more. We keep learning from each other. Lichen Sclerosis must be taught in all medically related classes for doctors, nurses, aides, etc. Stephanie s book is HELPFUL.

Stephanie gives us her story and lets us know that we are not alone, we are not broken, and we are going to be ok. We are ok. I loved the wealth of information along with the positive encouragement and love that filled the pages of this book.

I enjoyed reading the author’s journey through LS. This miss of good information in here too!

Stephanie Is an actual LS sufferer. She speaks from experience up close and personal. For those of you that want more alternatives and options for finding relief from LS, this book is for you. I very highly recommend it.

I know a lot about lichen sclerosus. More than any medical professional who has ever treated me for it. Still, I found the approach and the information in this book to be excellent. The author provides many insights from a variety of perspectives that will appeal to many different people seeking to understand this terrible affliction.

I really connected with this book and the writer, I found myself looking things up she had suggested and a lot of the things that were discussed really struck a chord with me. I guess not everyone will be the same, but there’s lots of things to think about and consider with such a complex condition and she covers them all pretty much so it is overall very informative and helpful!

I found several new pieces of advice to manage LS in that book. It’s well written and I finished it in three days.

I have read several of Ms. Hrehirchuk's books, and I am always engaged, informed and feel her compassion for our well-being. I was unaware of LS and her wisdom and insights on self care are helpful and practical.

For a research beginner,, this book contains standard onformation but nothing that can't be acquiredOn the Internet. Large print. Easy Read.Would like to have read more about International trials and studies ongoing.
