About this listen
The Immune Mystery follows doctor and researcher Anita Kåss' quest to solve the autoimmune puzzle, beginning with the premature death of her mother, who developed rheumatoid arthritis shortly after giving birth to Anita. As a child, Anita vowed to study the illness and one day find a cure.
Becoming a respected doctor and researcher, Anita devoted herself to studying autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Why do so many autoimmune diseases start to show symptoms during and after childbirth, perimenopause, and menopause? Could autoimmune diseases be linked to our changing hormones?
Despite the groundbreaking nature of her research, Anita had to fight for her ideas against the conventional wisdom and casual sexism of the medical industry - even as she made a discovery that earned her a record-breaking $95 million pharmaceutical deal.
A compelling blend of incredible determination and cutting-edge science, The Immune Mystery changes the way we think about autoimmune diseases. Anita offers solace to patients struggling with questions about their health, and introduces a powerful new voice in medical storytelling.

simply the Best.
At last an in-depth book about The immune system and more specifically rheumatoid arthritis. One more to the point a book that I can read and understand as a layperson who has RA.
Thank you for writing this book. Thank you for doing the work and the research. Thank you for persisting in the face of naysayers and setbacks. I’ve listened to this book in one sitting and it is so packed with information I need to go back and listen again especially with the list at the end. You and your mother have given so many of us hope. Thank you
I would recommend this book to anybody Fascinated by how our bodies fight off infections but especially to anybody with rheumatoid arthritis.

Informative and Inspiring
Not many of us have the fortitude to turn a personal tragedy into a lifelong mission. I imagine even fewer make so much difference to others on the way. I found this really educational.
