I No Longer Dance: A Personal Struggle with Degenerative Disc Disease by Alice Cocca

Those who are close to people suffering from Degenerative Disc Disorder do their best to understand what their loved ones are going through. They ask them what they feel and how they can make them feel better or more comfortable. The best way to understand another person's pain is to step into their shoes. The only way you can do that is by either going through the same situation or by getting insight from a person in the same situation. "I No Longer Dance: A Personal Struggle with Degenerative Disc Disorder" is one of the best books to help you gain insight into the diseases and what suffers go through.

Alice Cocca was once a professional athlete. She suffered from Degenerative disc disorder for 10 years. She succumbed to the condition and died in Texas. This is the story of her struggle told from her own perspective. The book is edited by her twin sister, Marie Randall Chandler, who cared for her in her struggling years.

This moving story tells of how a lively and competitive athlete was forced to give up what she loved most and confined to an inactive life. The story is candid. There is no mincing of words. Everything is told through the eyes of a sufferer. Read through the frustrations and hopelessness often experienced by sufferers and gain insight into what patients with this condition go through. This tale is moving and will bring you to tears. Although Alice died later on, her fighting sprit is evident throughout the book and is an inspiration to many who have read it.
