• Lorna, we loved your book! Ignore others and keep writing!  Dec 8, 2003 (20 of 20 found this helpful)

  Being a member of MS MOMS, I got myself an autographed copy of Lorna's first book. I also got a chance to meet her at an MS gathering, to talk to her about MS and her book. She was devastated by the errors and reviews. It saddened me to hear that she got negative comments because of the way it was published.
  Let me tell you something:This little book is not written by some doctor and shares every aspect of Lorna's experiences. Good and bad. Most of us would not be brave enough to share these trials. Lorna took the chance to share with us. She did so in a funny, touching manner. That alone, deserves praise!

  The idea that people want to rip her book apart because of what happened after the book left her hands, and went to the publisher, is sickening. They should be taking their negative views to those who maligned the book, the publisher, not Lorna.

  I think as a first time author, Lorna has learned many lessons. Among them, that many of us who live with MS forgive imperfections, not all publishers are created equal, and those who can't tell the difference should be ignored. This book is wonderful, mistakes and all! Pure and simple!

• Thank you for writing this book!  Aug 29, 2003 (17 of 17 found this helpful)

  After my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, I was scared and depressed. This funny little book has done more for my outlook on living with multiple sclerosis than most other attempts.She doesn't preach, she simply tells it like it is! If there were mistakes, I didn't notice them while I was giggling. Lorna is light-hearted and daring with her smart-aleck turns of phrase and descriptions. No doubt she will stir up the more "politically-correct" and those who are not affected by their MS. However,for those of us whose lives have been changed by mutliple sclerosis, her words are just what the doctor ordered!

• Incredibly honest, incredibly funny  Jun 1, 2003 (14 of 14 found this helpful)

  It shouldn't be possible to be painfully honest, incredibly funny, and highly informative at the same time... especially when dealing with the personal story of a multiple sclerosis onset. I still can't fathom how Lorna Moorhead not only can laugh at her own situation, but can make us laugh with her.
  Even the occasional proofreading and editing glitches don't sidetrack the reader from a real sense of involvement. I read it straight thru in one sitting because I didn't want to put it down. Please let there be more books from this fresh, funny new voice!

• This book says it all  Sep 9, 2004 (12 of 12 found this helpful)

  When I read this book, it was a revelation. This lady said what I had been feeling and thinking. It is great to know you are not alone, you are not crazy and that all these weird things that have been happening are real, because they do happen to others. Honest, funny, touching but above all it helped me to accept my MS and get on with life.

• I Appreciated this book!  Jul 5, 2004 (10 of 10 found this helpful)

  All though I've been in denial, I finally read this book and it was very helpful! I needed the humor! I like to think of it as "The Girlfriends Guide to MS" Thank you Lorna!
