uncomfortably numb 2 named finalist in national indie excellence awards

My publisher shared with me some excellent news this week: Uncomfortably Numb 2: An Anthology for Newly-Diagnosed MS Patients was a finalist in the Health-General category for this year’s National Indies Excellence Awards.

I share the honor with the breathtakingly honest contributors to this book whose stories exuded raw authenticity:

It’s my hope that those who pick up Uncomfortably Numb 2 will find comfort, valuable information, and the knowledge that they are not in this alone. There’s a whole army of folks out there who’ll have your back.

uncomfortably numb 2: ‘amazing resource’

MS Activist and Influencer Jodi Dwyer said the new multiple sclerosis anthology Uncomfortably Numb 2 would’ve been “an amazing resource” had she had it in her hands when she was first diagnosed.

That was the goal of this sequel to my MS memoir. It was to create a guide that I wish I’d had when I received my own diagnosis in 2014. Comprised of stories from patients with varying stages of MS, Uncomfortably Numb 2 includes stories from a woman who was diagnosed as a teen and a neurologist who treats adult and pediatric MS patients.
