About this title

Synopsis

This is a hysterical book about a woman who found out she had Multiple Sclerosis, began declining rapidly and decided to take charge of her own health. It is her funny take on how she got M.S., why she got M.S., and what she did about it. The medications she was given by her doctors were no longer working so in March of 2000 she volunteered for a stem cell transplant at Scripps in San Diego, CA. During this experiment she almost died. So she listened to comedy tapes. It was the laughter that kept her alive. So now that she has been given a second chance at life, she decided to become a comedian and make everybody laugh.

About the Author

After being diagnosed with MS in 1995, Sandi Selvi began to decline rapidly and quickly became frustrated with conventional medical options. The drugs had nasty side effects, and in her case, the drugs didn't work. So, in March of 2000 Sandi joined forces with the brilliant doctors at Scripp's in San Diego, to, as they so eloquently put it, "Kill her immune system and build a new one" with an autologous stem cell transplant. Theoretically her new immune system could stop the MS. During the two month medical procedure Sandi came pretty close to death, but a $10.99 box of used comedy tapes helped her through recovery, and changed her life. Laughter is indeed the best medicine -- Sandi now shares her medicine, and her medical miracle, through stand-up comedy.
