Destined to Be a Classic!
"Rare Disease" the diagnosis that no parent ever wants to hear.
"This book gives a heartbreaking exposé of what life is like for families that have a member with a rare disease," explains Carolyn Paisley-Dew, ISMRD Board Member. "It follows the journey of 13 families who have one or more children with a rare disease called Mucolipidosis, as they wade through the erratic diagnosis process, medical muck-ups, endless pain, a plethora of medical appliances and home modifications, special education, multiple hospitalizations and surgeries, unrelenting stress and the ever-present fear of death.
The book highlights how stoic, resilient, strong and resourceful these families are, and how heartless, or thoughtless, some medical professionals can be. It underlines the importance of networks to allow these isolated families to support each other and to give them a sense of belonging.
Author Denise Crompton presents these stories in a style that is compassionate and easy to read.
Other families with a rare disease will recognize themselves in this book. It is a must for medical professionals, especially those who want to understand the families and how to best work with them during these difficult times.
What Others Are Saying About this Book
"Wow, breadth & depth The various chapters of Diagnosis Rare Disease cover every aspect of the impact of a rare disease on individuals. Within each chapter is deep insight into the tremendous differences of impact on each of 15 Individuals. In addition the style is compelling reading."
~ Bob Gorman - Independent Research Professional
“Denise Crompton captures the essence of living with a rare disease; the quest for a diagnosis, the fears, frustrations, heartbreaks, navigating the medical establishment, and the loss of loved ones. As one who has children battling a rare disease, I am encouraged by the journeys of the individual families Denise writes about, knowing that I am not alone in my feelings and struggles, and energized by the families’ determination to live their lives to the fullest.” ~ Susan Anganes
"As a retired operating room nurse, I have been amazed at the history of Kelley Crompton. During her lifetime she underwent numerous surgeries in hopes of improving her life style, preserving the same and hoping for a cure. I know how tough it is to enter an operating room the first time but returning again and again can be demoralizing. I can tell you firsthand how those giving such care are frustrated beyond belief. We are there to help and hope for lasting remedies. To see the same patient return numerous times is heart wrenching. My hope is that all health care givers will read these books so that the care the give will be compassionate. Sometimes just being there, truly listening and supporting a patient is all we can do. But we must start!"
~ Jeanne C. Sturrock, retired operating room nurse
“Regarding the topic of Diagnosis Rare Disease, Denise Crompton amply demonstrates two of her important assets one is the personal experience with ML III in her own daughter and two, her manifest ability to widen the subject and to bring a streamlined report on a number of other patients and families with either ML II or ML III. The book is to become a classic in the still little known world of very rare or orphan hereditary disorders.”

This is a heartbreaking and at the same time helpful book. It's useful for someone dealing with a rare disease or even a friend, relative or health care provider to such a person. This book lets you "walk a mile in the shoes" of parents who have gone through the trial of having a child with a rare disease.

Very compelling and heartfelt book. A must read for any family facing a rare disease. The stories of the individual families portrayed is both heartbreaking and courageous at the same time. Denise Crompton really captured the intention of this book, although you have a rare disease you are not alone and strength is found somewhere along the journey.
Reading Denise Crompton's book,"Diagnosis Rare Disease" is a humbling experience. The documentation of what her child and others who suffer with this disease would be a great help to any patient or family member dealing with a debilitating diagnosis. It is an account not only of the trials and tribulations associated with sickness, doctors and hospitals, but also of strong family and faith. "Diagnosis Rare Disease" is an inspirational read!

I purchased this item for my as well as a hard copy to gift to my physician who practices family medicine. Originally my purchase of the version was partly as support for Zack and his family, who are friends of one of my nieces, who happens to be the photographer of the cover shot. However, as I read the stories of the families and their struggles to find the best care for their children, it became apparent that too few understand rare diseases in the medical profession. I suppose that is the curse of rarity, if you aren't exposed to the symptoms, and there aren't enough references, mistakes or misdiagnosis is inevitable. However, these are children, not guinea pigs. Fortunately, these parents are like tigers when it comes to their children. They banded together to form a support group, and have had to endure arrogance, ignorance, and apathy within the medical community. I then purchased a hard copy of the book and gifted it to my physician. Because she is one of those exceptional physicians who actually listens to her patients, she was thankful for the book and as she said, "sometimes egos get in the way of diagnoses."
I recommend this book to physicians just in case you encounter a patient with a rare disease, and also as a reminder that a parent who deals with symptoms on a daily basis is an important resource. PS...despite what these children suffer, they are just children trying to enjoy life like any healthy child.
Diagnosis Rare Disease is a candid view at the daily struggles and turmoil that a family goes through when their child is diagnosed. It shows different aspects of each child's condition and the coping mechanisms of not only the children but also the parents and family. A brief insight into the struggle for rare disease's to be recognized by the Doctors, therapists and health system.It offers us support and hope. Truly believe that every one should take the time to read this awesome book. Told from the heart and the hearts of the families who's stories are told. Many tears were shed in relating to the stories through this book. Amazing work Denise Crompton x
Excellent book about a rare disease, with a point of view of some parents with children with same rare disease that share their different point of views and their different lives affected because one of their family members is a fighter in a daily battle against a monster that will be win the battle, taking at the end their child, but not their courage.
Even though, as one of Denise's siblings, I have first hand knowledge of the extraordinary, seemingly unending and agonizing events of Kelley Crompton's life, my understanding of them is pale in light of the day to day challenges faced by such families. I remain astonished and deeply impressed at the resilience, fortitude and positive attitude of these children and their parents, despite their many harsh set backs and heartaches. Somehow their energy and ability to smile remains. The reader of this book will find it puts our "usual" aches, pains and disappointments in a clearer perspective. It is said that there are saints among us - I knew one in Kelley Crompton - and you will meet others in this thoughtful book.
Denise Crompton has once again written a wonderful, must-read book for parents with MLII and MLIII children. The book weaves together heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of families dealing with a rare disease. Also included are the families' experiences with the medical, research, and educational systems - a rare gift to those who feel they struggle alone.
