Coffee in the Cereal: The First Year with Multiple Sclerosis
by MS MOMS founder, Lorna J. Moorhead
Foreword by Judith Lynn Nichols of Women Living with Multiple Sclerosis!
Book Description: In the quirky, sassy voice that has made her popular on health Web sites and with the women of MS MOMS, Lorna Moorhead recounts the experience of her first year with multiple sclerosis with a vitality unique in the often gloomy world of personal medical histories. 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, stand up to 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.

The "MS Sisters" discuss how they deal with their disability and their reactions to a variety of situations and challenges. One woman writes, "Never give up. Having MS isn't any fun, that's for sure. But it's not terminal and not always horrible. Keep a positive attitude. "
