Diary of a Medical Nightmare

About the Book

Annette Stremecki, a wife, mother, and career person, depicts the true story of a woman’s devastating turn of events when struck by illness that slowly consumes her life. Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed and not understood by the medical community.

This story shares intimate and terrifying moments. Moments that turn into weeks, months and years of struggle for a family who grasps at anything to keep some sense of normality in their lives.

The experiences are shared through a diary of human emotion relating the story of a woman, not unlike any other woman who deals with ridicule, sexism, physical and psychological trauma in her search for help. Her determination to find that help is constant and her sense of humor uplifts her spirits. Simply put, it is a story about overcoming adversity.

The reader will see the woman as a survivor in the belief that most women have been granted the power of survival. The reader is given the opportunity to take a journey with her through this challenging part of her life, and experience the joy when help finally comes her way.
