There are no words that can express how this book helped me. I have had MS for over 30 years and so often felt I was the only one who felt like I do. This book was so helpful I have sent one to each of our four grown children so maybe now they will understand why their mom is the way she is. As Dean says in the book & I have heard so often and for so many years, but you look so good. Thank you Dean you have made my life so much more understandable to not only friend's family but also me. I will treasure this book always. Susan

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an incurable and often painful disease in which the body's immune system periodically attacks the body itself. Very highly recommended reading, Life On Cripple Creek: Essays On Living With Multiple Sclerosis is a profound, heartfelt, touching memoir of-fact daily trials of living with MS. From selecting shoes that don't aggravate MS-based pain, yet don't look like something a geriatric person would wear; to dilemmas in dating; to reacting quickly to the threat of a hornet's nest; the essays comprising Life On Cripple Creek collectively provide the reader with an individual testimony, a moving memoir, and a wry yet practical look at dealing with reality and making the most out of life.
