About this title

About the Author

As my family were now grown up I decided at the age of 45 to return to education. I did this by College and then University where I obtained a degree in Psychology in 2000.This led me into the banking sector where I hoped I could make a career for myself before retirement. Unfortunately in September 2001 I was diagnosed with MS. Just over a year later it became impossible for me to work.I have attended various MS classes like Physiotherapy and Fatigue Management which gave me an insight as to the future ahead . As it was important for me to understand my illness I began reading books and searching the internet. I started to write for my own benefit but before long I was writing my book.With a lot of encouragement from professionals and my family I hope my book will help others in a similar position to remain positive and believe that they can look towards the future.
