This March marks the 18th anniversary of the start of my writing the column “Lifestyles With A couple of Sclerosis.” I started writing after a hard first few years of residing with my a couple of sclerosis (MS) analysis. A lot has modified over that duration — together with how I write, what I write about, and the way the ones writings are brought to you, my readers.
I’m glad to mention that my latest e-book has now been revealed by means of Coffeetown Press and shall be to be had to global readers via Ingram.

Whilst now not written in a linear approach, we have now organized it so. It’s been referred to as “one section primer, one section guide, one section pocket translator, and one hundred pc an crucial box information for navigating the demanding situations of residing with power sickness.” Humbling, certainly.
Much more humbling used to be that Tim Coetzee, PhD, leader advocacy, products and services, and science officer for the Nationwide MS Society, wrote a ravishing foreword to the e-book.
An outdated pal as soon as stated, and it’s caught with me since, that “blow his own trumpet is going however little tactics.” So I’ll let others discuss to that. It should be stated that I’m gobsmacked by means of the global voices who’ve introduced up evaluations of the brand new e-book.
