LIFE ON CRIPPLE CREEK COLUMNS

Writing from her home in rural Pennsylvania, MSWorld Staff Member Dean Kramer/aka DeanOP shares her adventures with MS and beyond in a voice reflective, humorous, and sometimes outrageous. Join her each month for a look at the light side, the dark side, and the far side of life with multiple sclerosis.

Also available from Demos Medical Publishers or a bookstore near you:

Life on Cripple Creek;
Essays on Living with Multiple Sclerosis

The book contains many essays not available on the web. If Comedy Central offered a “HOW TO” book about surviving MS, this could be that book. Don’t miss it!
