I will never, again, take walking for granted. Moving Forward is a story about walking again after taking a new MS drug called Tysabri.
Walking again after four years in a wheelchair, Vern Beachy talks about what it is like to begin a risky new treatment for Multiple Sclerosis and then being able to discard a wheelchair and crutches after just three months of treatment. The drug, Tysabri, is not a cure for MS, but it is really close.
In his conversational, vivid and stark writing style evident in his first memoir, A Tear-Stained Letter, Beachy wonders if "this is what heroin addicts feel like."
