About this title

From the Author:

Thank you for your interest and/or purchase of my book.

I started writing this to explain to people who didn't have multiple sclerosis how I was feeling. But as I met more and more people with MS, I realized that there were many similarities to their story! That was when I saw that the book was also useful for some people who actually have MS.

This book chronicles my diagnosis; the time in an MS'ers life when we are saying, 'what the heck is going on?' 'Am I crazy?' Well, we are not crazy. Okay, maybe I am a little. How else could I tell strangers about my toilet troubles in the same book that I talk about my fabulous heels?

I do hope you enjoy it. Read it with a cup of tea and pretend I am sitting with you, telling what happened! Thanks again!

Marlo
ps- Some readers have asked if there will be a book 2, and the answer is yes! I am writing it now.
