Has anyone read the book Invisible Kingdom by Meghan O'Rourke? It got excellent reviews, and is part memoir, part history of chronic illness treatment in Western medicine. The author has chronic Lyme disease and long COVID. I ordered a copy, but it won't arrive at my local bookstore for me to pick up for a few days. Just curious if anyone here has read it yet.

I've not read it, but wanted to mention the Libby app. If you have a library card, you might be able to start reading it online, if that's of any interest.

Never heard of it, but I do always love a good book. I'm a book worm myself so.

No, I haven’t read it yet. Thanks saraeli, for bringing it to our attention. It looks like a really good book…I may order it also.
