Kirsty Mills

What happens when your immune system decides it’s going to kill you?

’Get Well Soon’ is a heartfelt and darkly comic account of Kirsty’s experience as a young woman juggling autoimmune disease with the demands of modern life. Since being diagnosed with a couple of chronic conditions and an organ with permanent scarring, Kirsty has spent half her lifetime encountering quirky drug side effects, playing hospital department bingo, and fighting against stigma.

From near-death experiences, wearing wigs, and social distancing like life depends on it, through to bad dates, career lows, and weddings without a plus one, Kirsty shares her perspective in the hope that readers - regardless of their health status - can better understand the less obvious ways in which chronic illness can impact daily life.

Full of warmth and wit, ’Get Well Soon’ is a memoir on resilience, positivity, and finding hope in the face of despair.
