MS and Your Feelings March 11, 2009 Judith A. Lilja (pompano beach, Florida) Excellent book which helped me greatly with some of my feelings. I am a nurse practitioner and thought I was going crazy for awhile. I have tried some of the suggestions she gives in the book and have been very successful. My therapist was also very impressed with the book
A must have February 19, 2009 Dorothyanne Brown (Westport, ON) MS and Your Feelings is a must for anyone dealing with the ravages of MS. Even if your MS is following a relatively benign course, the emotions associated with loss around a chronic disease, plus the loss of cognitive functions, memory, and emotional stability associated with the disease itself make this book timely and helpful. I've read it through twice already - first when first diagnosed, and again when my emotions were getting out of control. Filled with good, sensible information and encouragement, it's a keeper, for frequent revisiting. If you buy one book about the emotional changes of MS, this should be the book.
GOOD February 5, 2009 Donna Pearson (Mackay,ID USA)
I have found this book to be a great read. It is full of great information. If you are newly diagnosed and are having a hard time get this book. And if you can get your caregiver to read it even better.
I wish I had read it before!!!! May 26, 2008 Zulma Rodriguez- Neris (San Lorenzo, PR USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The exercises found in this book are great, when you are first diagnosed and the coming years. It is a great tool to have because you do not deal with your MS the same way on a daily basis. There are times that, even if it is in written form, you need to look for answers. The way the book is written, it is a sure sign that you do not have to have MS to write a good book, but as an MSer you do know what we face every day. Great book, will keep using for future reference.
Great book! May 10, 2008 K. Brown (Cleveland OH) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I originally got this book at the library. I hesitated because some MS books can be very heavy or dry. This book was excellent! I found it very helpful, even though I've had MS for years. I bought one for myself & had some of my family read it, too. I even got a couple for gifts for friends with MS. I highly recommend it, especially if you have people in your life who could use a little MS education. It's also great to validate things for you personally. It's an easy read & definitely worth the time.
