A Magical Sense

Sue has been living with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) since 1985. In this very personal audio book, she explores how MS has affected her, physically and mentally, and provides valuable advice for others in the same position.

This book tells of that journey, from the initial shock of the diagnosis through the education process (and the periods of denial) to an understanding of what it takes to survive and live with MS. No one in the medical team can tell it from the position of the person with MS. Sue can and she does so with personal candor and incredible humour. The initial diagnosis was hard to accept.

Medical staff will find it useful to gain the perspective of one of their 'users' (as Sue describes herself). Sue's sister was diagnosed with MS in 1989, four years after Sue's own diagnosis and died in 2001. It was only then that Sue realised that MS could be fatal. It was the trigger that started the writing of this book ...
