Summary: good read for ms'ers and family
Review: As an ms'er and ex-flight attendant myself, I admire Carole's courage in every way. She reminded me of the "silent" promise I have and that is never to stop fighting, never to give up. Thank you, Carole.

Summary: Ms. Mackie's disease progress is almost exactly like my own
Review: Carole Mackie's story of her symptoms, her diagnosis, the progress of her disease, and the things she did; projects she took upon herself to help her come to terms with her disease is one of the best'personal story' books on MS that I have read. Because the course of her disease was so similar to my own. I feel like most people with the relapseing-remitting type of the disease need to read this book. She doesn't over dramitize, or give any technical medical rundown. She is just an ordinary working young person faced suddenly, and joltingly, with a potentially, progressively debilitating disease. How she deals with it and comes to acceptance was life-reaffirming to me. She answered the question for me: where do, and will I be able to go from here?

Summary: An amazingly honest account of life with MS.
Review: Carole's story is breathtakingly honest. She is a real inspiration, I found I could not put the book down. I feel I have a much greater understanding of what it is like to live with a dibilitating disease such as MS the various difficulties faced not only by the sufferer but their family and friends. An extremely heartfelt and compassionate story, I was cheerng for Carole and wish her every success in her life.

Summary: newly diagnosed
Review: I am 20 yrs. old and newly diagnosed. I found this book extremly helpful, before reading this I felt as if I couln't relate to anyone. The book gave me alot of hope for the future and learned that to beat this disease I need to be strong. If you are newly diagnosed or have been living with this for a long time it is a MUST READ!
Rating:
Summary: It sounds like me talking!
Review: I enjoyed this book, and saw so much of my own symptoms, emotional reaction and trying to cope with the disability. I was interested to read about how she felt when she started getting feeling back after the numbness and thinking everything was alright. It is some comfort to know that for the most part, the same things run through our heads and we are not all alone in what we feel. I felt that her interaction with her boyfriend and her daily life was appropriate to relate to the reader, as it illustrates the emotional rollercoaster we are on, and that our relationships are affected by such a diagnosis.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: I read this book and saw so much of myself. As a newly diagnosed young woman, it is a comfort to know that there really are people out there struggling day in and day out with this disease! Thank you Carole for your wonderful insight!
