★★★★★Honestly, this guide was the first thing that made me feel like I could breathe after my daughter's diagnosis. The chapter on genetics finally made it clear that this wasn't my fault, and I liked that it said 'we don't know' when that was the truth instead of pretending to have all the answers. The questions for the doctor list saved me from freezing up at our first appointment. A few more real-life patient stories would've made it perfect, but it's still the best resource I've found.

★★★★★As a caregiver for my husband, I found this helpful but not perfect. The writing is genuinely warm and easy to understand, and I appreciate the honesty about how variable the symptoms can be. The treatment options chapter felt a bit too general for our specific case, and I wish it had more detail on the kidney stone management side of things. That said, the caregiver chapter actually made me feel seen instead of just used, and the checklist format in the last chapter is genuinely useful. A solid starting point, though it's not a replacement for a good doctor.
