It Won't Kill You. But...
About
“It won’t kill you.
But...there may be times when you wish it had.”
That was how Crohn’s Disease was first explained to the author. What followed was a life interrupted by surgeries, setbacks, and questions no one could seem to answer.
This book isn’t about miracles. It’s about the messy, mundane, and sometimes hilarious reality of living with a chronic illness that doesn’t play fair.
Part memoir, part toolkit, It Won’t Kill You But... is for anyone navigating the unknown - patients, partners, parents and friends alike. It doesn’t promise a cure. But it does offer clarity, compassion, and a way to reclaim your life on your own terms.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Crohn’s, this is your companion for the journey. A brutally honest, often funny, always practical guide to making peace with the disease—and refusing to let it define you.
Praise for this book
"This has to be the most definitive book I have ever read on the subject of Crohn's Disease. I have been a sufferer for almost 16 years and not once have I met anyone in the NHS who could give me even a fraction of the information this guy projects. It is hard to believe he is not a clinician of some sort! Knowing that I still have another 20-odd years to go to even catch him up in terms of time suffered, is inspiring to me because one thing is clear throughout this amazing book - he never gives up! I think it is fair to say that this book has changed my life for the better. I certainly don't feel sorry for myself anymore!"
