Inhaltsangabe

Praise for the first edition:
"Well-conceived and written volume.... Great sensitivity to the realities of dealing with MS and gives straightforward information about outcomes and expectations."
-- Science Books and Films

Multiple sclerosis strikes one in a thousand North Americans, usually in early adulthood, just as they are building careers and starting families. Because the disease involves the central nervous system, the effects are wide-ranging and difficult to predict.

Multiple Sclerosis is a fact-filled comprehensive guide to living with MS, supported by diagrams, case histories, a drug table and an extensive list of helpful books and organizations.

This updated edition features new drugs and therapies. Topics include:

• What MS is, and who suffers from it
• How MS is diagnosed as possible, probable or definite
• Why the disease affects different people in different ways
• Differences between relapsing-remitting MS and progressive MS
• Adapting homes, careers and lifestyles to cope with the disease
• Treatments currently available.

Combining current and authoritative medical advice and practical hands-on tips, Multiple Sclerosis is an invaluable guide for anyone affected by this complex disease.
