At the age of twenty eight, Conor Devine had a fantastic life by
any measure. With a supportive family and a great career, he had
just married Kate, the love of his life. The young couple
honeymooned on the tropical island of Mauritius, but on the first
day of their new life, disaster struck. Conor's body came under
attack by a mysterious virus, confining him to the hospital for the
rest of his visit. Within a year, he was diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis. The disease brought his world to a halt. How would he
support his family? How would he carry out his life confined to a
wheelchair? How could this happen to a healthy young man? He lived
in a world filled with questions and void of any answers. As Conor
lays out, multiple sclerosis, or MS, is an inflammatory disease in
which the fatty sheaths that protect and cover nerve cells are
damaged. This leads to a broad spectrum of symptoms including
tremors, muscle spasms, loss of balance, numbness, slurred speech,
and uncontrollable eye movements. As the disease progressed, Conor
worked out a plan to begin rebuilding his life. After three years
of struggling with on-again, off-again attacks, the young man
decided he needed to formulate a strategy to regain control of his
brain. Using a three-point plan, he mapped out a framework to beat
multiple sclerosis and begin living and dreaming once more. This
inspiring account will motivate others to examine their own lives
and see what improvements can be made when everything else seems
hopeless. As the author admits, MS symptoms and severity vary
widely from person to person. His story of recovery may be just as
valid as the more severe sufferer who takes pride in being able to
walk just a few steps every day. Ultimately, Attitude is
Everything: My MS Story will appeal to a broad range of readers
looking for an inspirational tale that demonstrates the great power
of summoning a positive attitude to confront life's problems.
