Amy B. Scher: This Is How I Save My Life: Healing, Surviving and Coming Undone

Beyond Talking Points, hosted by Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley, provides author and community focused interviews to highlight a diverse range of perspectives on various topics.
By the time Amy B. Scher was twenty-eight-years-old, she had lived through almost a decade of misdiagnoses, excruciating pain, brain lesions, bone marrow biopsies, blood transfusions, and multiple hospital stays to treat her late-stage, chronic Lyme disease.
Taking forty-four pills a day and deteriorating rapidly, she consulted with more than sixty doctors, including the top experts in Los Angeles, the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis, and a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. When the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal, it was up to Amy to blaze her own path forward.
An award-winning and bestselling author of four books which are translated into 16 languages, Amy writes and teaches on the topics of healing, human-ing, and creativity. Through her work, she helps people break through blocks to become their happiest, healthiest, and most expressive selves. Her work has been featured in CNN, CBS, Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Good Morning America, and more. She lives in New York City.
