Kym Orsetti Furney was a 34-year-old physician, specializing in
Internal Medicine, busy with her exciting job and enjoying life
with her husband and young daughter in 2000, when she suddenly
began to experience dizziness repeatedly, which rapidly led to a
diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Her world was rocked for a time,
but Furney has recovered from the shock and - empowered by
information, acceptance and support - continues working as a
doctor, teaching and taking care of her family, despite the
challenges of MS. For all people dealing with a personal or family
diagnosis now, she offers help, hope and insights by explaining all
the medical perspectives, but also reflecting on her own personal
experiences after diagnosis. Never forgetting the fear and
hopelessness she felt at the time she learned of her own MS, she
discusses the many challenges, from depression and overcoming fear
of injection medications, to how and when to tell others about
having MS and understanding the impact MS may have on one's career.
Readers will find a strong connection with this talented physician
and the thoughts and emotions that she has had facing MS. Furney's
well-researched and compassionate writing will not only empower
people newly diagnosed with MS, but will give family members
insight into the physical and emotional challenges for their loved
one, challenges that she or he may not immediately be able to
voice. This work also offers invaluable insights for healthcare
professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, physical and
occupational therapists.
