“Illness is a story we tell about ourselves. The narrative is the connective tissue that joins together the symptoms and perceptions and makes sense of them. It's how impenetrable concepts like death and life become something that can be incorporated comfortably into day-to-day existence.

It's also why metaphors of battle or struggle are so popular for describing sickness. It draws the line between them and us, good and evil.”
