Multiple Sclerosis affects more than 400-thousand Americans. It can arise suddenly and often with debilitating effect. In 1991, Author Jackie Waldman found her entire life changed when she was diagnosed with M.S. In her book entitled "The Courage to Give", she gathered stories of people from around the county who, like her, confronted tragedy and found new ways to heal. In a recent conversation with WUOT's Ann Lloyd, Waldman says she learned everything she could about M.S., but it didn't prepare her for living with the disease.
