Hi Friends!

Today I’m proudly celebrating the first anniversary of Last Nerve’s release on May 27, 2025. What a year it has been! Please help me celebrate its book birthday by buying a copy.

In the future, my newsletter will be coming out quarterly. But don’t worry, there will still be plenty of news and updates, especially as I embark on writing my next book.

Until then, have a great summer!

“[The family] rising to the never-ending challenges of living with ALS, while fostering hope that meaningful treatments will be developed, is a source of inspiration to anyone dedicated to finding a cure for this devastating disease.”


  • Jerome Kurent, MD, MPH
    Director of the Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center’s ALS Multidisciplinary Clinic

    _____________________


    “It serves as a reminder for medical professionals to treat every individual with compassion and respect, because behind every individual seen in research or clinic lies a complex tapestry of arduous battes fought daily, unwavering love, and importantly, hope.”


    • Suma Babu, MBBS, MPH
      ALS Neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital

ABOUT LAST NERVE

Last Nerve begins as Mindy Uhrlaub learns that she carries the gene for the fatal neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite the incredible strain of this diagnosis and additional life challenges, Mindy manages to move forward with amazing tenderness, persistence, and love. Far from a depressing story of misfortune, Last Nerve is as uplifting and witty as it is raw and real. It’s a testament to hope, the endurance of family, and the resilience of the human spirit.
