Life throws everyone challenges of some sort, whether it is a one time thing or a challenge that completely changes our lives. We deal with these challenges in several ways. One way is to write about them. When Life Gives You Challenges, Write a Poem, is the way the authors included in this book have sought to deal with the challenge of multiple sclerosis or MS. MS is a chronic condition that can vary from mild to extremely severe symptoms. How do you cope with these changes? As a young mother, as a married man, as a single person who has not yet found the love of your life? That is what you will find here in these pages. People from all walks of life, who have been diagnosed with MS and are struggling to deal with the challenges that come with it.If you have MS, you will be able to relate to each and every poem. Some are written by writers who have been published. But most have been written by ordinary people who put pen to paper in the moments when they were frustrated, in pain, afraid, or trying to figure out how to deal with this disease. You will see MS through their eyes, walk in their shoes, and be touched by their honesty. This is MS, in their own words.
