Candles almost extinguished, author: Kulthum Dashti

A journey you share with me in my life stations, I walk through the mazes of my memory, and turn the pages of my medical diary over the past twenty years, suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatism). This book is an important medical document.. It is a journey.. a journey of adaptation… confrontation.. and strength.. One of us may catch a severe cold and barely tolerate himself.. but Om Kalthoum here tells us her journey with rheumatoid disease.. which is a disease that comes to stay.. and forces us to rearrange our lives accordingly.. And the book is a document not only for those affected by this disease, but also for specialized doctors in this matter, as they are the ones who deal with the patient, and his psychological state. Kalthoum’s strength with the disease and her endurance of it is something inspiring for us the healthy, as her strength inspires me and makes me see my health as the most precious thing God has given me, and it gives me the strength to continue life, praising and thankful.
