Multiple sclerosis -- MS -- strikes about one in a thousand North Americans, usually in early adulthood, when they are building careers and starting families. Because the disease involves the central nervous system, its effects are wide-ranging and difficult to predict.
Multiple Sclerosis: The Facts You Need -- part of the Your Personal Health Series -- 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. Topics include:
what MS is, and who gets it; how MS is diagnosed as "possible," "probable" or "definite"; why the disease affects different people in different ways; how "relapsing-remitting" MS differs from "progressive" MS; how people with MS and their families, can adapt their homes, careers and lifestyles to cope with the disease; which treatments work, which don't and what help is on the horizon.Combining authoritative medical advice and practical hands-on tips, Multiple Sclerosis: The Facts You Need is an invaluable guide for anyone affected, directly or indirectly by this complex disease.
