"""Myasthenia gravis attacked Jane Marla Robbins, and in this book she launches a brilliant counterattack. Her weapons, that embrace and actually suffocate it, are: wit, humor, wordplay, music, and yes, JOY."" -- Jimmy Roberts, composer, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change ""Moving.... The book succeeds in capturing the manifold nature of illness... Jane's stay in the hospital is indeed nightmarish, as she is beset by giant birds, nurses dancing the cancan, and human-sized pill bottles screaming 'eat me.'"" - Kirkus Review ""As a physician and patient myself with Myasthenia gravis, I have to thank Jane Marla Robbins for making me laugh out loud about my own condition. It's what we all needed - deep-throated anger, belly-aching laughter, tears of tenderness, and hope for cures."" - Dr. Lisa Plymate, internist and geriatrician, living with MG for six years"
