Multiple Sclerosis, Melanoma, and More: the Rest of the Multiple Sclerosis, an Enigma Story Terry Crawford Palardy 1. izdevums

Multiple Sclerosis, Melanoma and More is a sequel to the original book, Multiple Sclerosis, an Enigma. Many readers of the first book asked to read more about the lives of the characters in that book. Questions asked were "What happened next? Did your choice of no medication for MS help you or harm you? How did Melanoma fit in with MS? How is your retirement affected by having two major conditions? How has this changed your life? Are you still living happily ever after?" In an effort to answer these questions and more, honestly, a daily journal was kept, recording both physical events and emotional changes. Financial considerations, family relationships, social obligations and friendships were all a part of the journal, as were local and world events. The journal acted both as a reflective device for the author, and a vehicle for keeping family and friends updated without intrusive emails. It existed first as a blog, open to those who wished to read it anonymously. It has now become a book, the second in a series. These books will continue to grow as the second half of Terry's life takes place in the new millennium.
