Coffee in the Cereal: The First Year with Multiple Sclerosis

Coffee in the Cereal: The First Year with Multiple Sclerosis

In the quirky, sassy voice that has made her popular on health web sites, Lorna Moorhead recounts the experience of her first year with multiple sclerosis. With vitality unique in an often gloomy world of medical books and stories, each chapter is told in Lornaâ€™s down- to- earth satirical tone and focuses on different aspects of her first year with MS.
Rather than focusing on the sadness and difficulties that followed her diagnosis, Moorhead deals with the practical problems faced by many MS patients: how to parent effectively, handle difficult doctors who think she looks "fine," and what to do with the mixed bag of cognitive difficulties.
Moorhead is a real-life person with real-life reactions to MS- she fights back when people attack her for parking in the handicapped spot even though she looks normal and she faces life with a spunky humor that will lift the spirits and encourage others fighting the disease. Hilarious, yet telling chapter headings such as "Not Tonight Dear, I Have MS" give readers a quick insight into the mind of this vibrant, intelligent woman.
