Book Description
What's it like to live with MS, to laugh at MS, to befriend a disease that demands so much of your life? Most information on multiple sclerosis misses the emotional mark by avoiding discussion of the intrinsic landmines one encounters while coming to terms with the disease: * What is it like to pick out a pair of shoes when aesthetics can't matter, yet you simply can't accept dressing like a dowdy, elderly aunt? * What is it like to rile up a hornets' nest and realize you simply can't run away from the stings? People in the MS community yearn for authentic, truthful stories of real life with a chronic disease-- stories and solutions they can cry and laugh with. MS is their reality and they haven't found the proper path to befriend it. Life on Cripple Creek is that 'friend'.
