A Life With Uncertainty
RRP: $26.95
This is the inspiring true story of a young confident Australian born Lebanese woman of Islamic faith suffering from a rare autoimmune disease...
Claudia Sultan shares her life with uncertainty; from her young life of dealing with her loud but lovable-and gossipy-extended family, to thinking about love and dealing with her family's concept of her marriage...
Up to the moment her life suddenly crumbled with battling Scleroderma, an auto-immune group of rare diseases that involve the hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, and a lifelong affliction of pain and ongoing treatment.
Divided into three stages of her journey; before, during and presently living with Scleroderma, we experience through Claudia's words the struggle for her survival becoming real and the faith she deepens for her guidance.
"I really connected with Claudia’s story as I live with a lifelong chronic autoimmune disease that I do not get a break from, 24 hours day 7 days a week with constant monitoring hoping you will see another day. There are moments you feel like a burden to your family who in return are fearful of losing you.
The upsides of living with a chronic disease are the strength you get and your resilience. I really felt that with Claudia as she went through the stages of being first diagnosed to present.
Claudia’s story is filled with hope, courage and tight family bonds. Your life, today, and tomorrow are gifts. Everything that has happened happens for a reason, it gets you to where you are today, you need to enjoy your life and all it has to offer and most of all be grateful."
