Getting on with Your Life with Ms

A Guide to Taking Charge of Your Health

By: Nancy E. Mayo PhD,Vanessa Bouchard PhD

Multiple sclerosis comes with a multitude of symptoms that affect people daily. The same way you manage your bank account or your house, you need to keep on top of how MS affects your life. In Getting On with Your Life with MS, authors Dr. Vanessa Bouchard and Dr. Nancy E. Mayo present a guide to help you take action so that you are in charge and MS is not. Bouchard and Mayo focus on helping you manage four important aspects of your life: dealing with medical issues in collaboration with your doctor and other members of the health care team; coping with the sometimes-disabling effects of MS; understanding how your emotions respond to changes in your life because of an MS diagnosis and its symptoms; and realizing the roles you play in life may change or evolve with MS for you and your family members. Getting On with Your Life with MS gives advice on becoming an effective MS self-manager and helps you develop a set of skills around problem-solving, decision-making, making best use of existing resources, working with your health care team, and developing action plans specifically tailored for different aspects of your MS experience. Evidence shows that taking a self-management approach improves your confidence in dealing with MS and improves your overall health and quality of life.

A Womanist Reading of Hebrew Bible Narratives as the Politics of Belonging from an Outsider Within

By: Vanessa Lovelace

The U.S. Declaration of Independence of 1776 decreed that all men were created equal and were endowed by their Creator with “certain unalienable Rights.” Yet, U.S.-born free and enslaved Black people were not recognized as citizens with “equal protections under the law” until the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment. Even then, White supremacists impeded the equal rights of Black people as citizens due to their beliefs in the inferiority of Black people and that America was a nation for White people. White supremacists turned to biblical passages to lend divine justification for their views. A Womanist Reading of Hebrew Bible Narratives as the Politics of Belonging from an Outsider Within analyzes select biblical narratives, including Noah’s curse in Genesis 9; Sarah and Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21; Mother in Israel in Judges 5; and Jezebel, Phoenician Princess and Queen of Israel in 1 and 2 Kings. This analysis demonstrates how these narratives were first used by ancient biblical writers to include some and exclude others as members of the nation of Israel and then appropriated by White supremacists in the antebellum era and the early twentieth century to do the same in America. The book analyzes the simultaneously intersecting and interconnecting dynamics among race, gender, class, and sexuality and biblical narratives to construct boundaries between “us versus them,” particularly the politicization of motherhood to deny certain groups’ inclusion.
