MS and Your Feelings

[Guest guest]

Here's a synopsis of the book I was telling you about that deals with the emotional impact that MS has on us.

You can get it from www.amazon.com or probably from your local book store. Has anyone read it yet? I'm thinking about buying it, and when I am done I can pass it on to our library. [we still have one don't we?] Anyhow let me know what you all think about what it says.

Dr. Cohen is a Dr. in Portland, Oregon that has an MS clinic thru Providence Medical center.
