So, I got bored one night when I couldn't sleep and ended up ordering more than 15 MS-related books from Amazon.
 Of course, I often can't read b/c of double vision - but I bought an eye patch (only use it at home) and then I do better. This has been the first time in nearly 3 months that I've been able to sit down and read a book!! I wanted to add some recommendations of my own now: Women Living with Multiple Sclerosis: Conversations on Living, Laughing and Coping I REALLY like this book! (this is written by a woman with MS - who "met" several women from an online support board - and they ended up starting their own email group - all the women are in different phases of life and the disease - and they discuss their issues, etc. Proceeds go to the NMSS, btw. I'm really "enjoying" this book..and highly recommend it - I've cried and I've laughed.) Facing the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis I read this one, too, and liked it - it was the story of a lawyer who has MS - and the challenges of the cognitive problems and how he had dealt with it and continues to deal with it. It was a little informative...but mostly just another "true story" which I really like anyhow...now I just read true stories about people with MS. I also ordered the MS Diet Book - and Amazon ended up sending me 5 copies of it!! Do you think that's a sign? I have not started any kind of diet plan or healthy eating - and I've gained a TON of weight. I can not seem to get my act together....and it's becoming a problem. Maybe I should scatter the books around my house so I see them everywhere? Amazon hasn't responded to my email letting them know they sent me 5 of them. Multiple Sclerosis: A Guide for Families I really like what I've read in this, too - tho, I've just skimmed it so far. It looks really good. I also got the following (all of them are MS related and published or revised within last 2 years or so): Remembering the Bone House: An Erotics of Place and Space (this was recommended by MS World - the next two books are by the same author) Carnal acts: Essays Waist-High in the World Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: New Hope, New Challenges Living Beyond Multiple Sclerosis: A Women's Guide (this is like a continuation of the first book I mentioned above) The MS Workbook: Living Fully With Multiple Sclerosis My Story: A Photographic Essay on Life with Multiple Sclerosis (this is pretty neat, and with a foreward by Richard Pryor's wife) The MS Recovery Diet Exercises for Multiple Sclerosis: A Safe and Effective Program to Fight Fatigue, Build Strength, and Improve Balance MS and Your Feelings: Handling the Ups and Downs of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis for Dummies Curing MS Managing the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis The First Year: Multiple Sclerosis: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis and Having a Baby: Everything You Need to Know about... (this book was written many years ago, tho) |
