Same Tree Different Branch: Living With Invisible Pain

Arthritis. Fibromyalgia. Neuropathy. Three conditions, three different kinds of pain, and one body trying to carry all of them at once.

Same Tree Different Branch is a warm, honest companion for anyone living with chronic pain, or loving someone who is. Written from more than four decades of firsthand experience, this book doesn’t offer medical advice or a treatment plan. It offers something harder to find: an honest, unflinching look at what it actually feels like to move through the world in a body that never fully cooperates — alongside the reassurance that you are not imagining it, and you are not alone in it.
