As For Life
Marilyn McVicker
I must warn the reader that my writing is not intended to be uplifting or inspirational. For every moment or emotion I have captured on paper, there are other experiences, just as strong, but opposite. I offer these poems to you, and hope you glean some satisfaction from knowing that even in illness, there is life, love, even with exquisite suffering there is exuberance and abundance.

Coping with Myasthenia Gravis
Aziz Shaibani
The idea of the book was inspired by the need of the myasthenia gravis patients to learn from each other, strategies to cope of this disease and to concur difficulties associated with it and its treatment. Some coping mechanisms were discovered by patients after long suffering and therefore are precious. These information is not present in the medical textbooks and only patients can speak about their experiences.
All proceeds from the sale of this book go to
the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America.
