This comprehensive guide should be of interest to all those affected by the unpredictable and, as yet, incurable disease of multiple sclerosis. It exposes popular misconceptions of the possible causes, the varied forms and symptoms, to practical suggestions about how to hold on to a job, run a home and have a family. Orthodox treatments are covered in depth, including advice on the latest developments in drug therapy, new lines of research and taking part in clinical trials, while a complete evaluation of alternative therapies and self-help measures is also provided. The book contains effective initiatives to isolate and minimize the factors which may trigger a relapse. In addition, there is a full discussion of counselling, support groups and the current legal and welfare situations. Chris McLaughlin is the co-author of "Better Sex" and "Winning With Body Language". Editorial Consultant Dr Alexander Burnfield is the author of "Multiple Sclerosis: A Personal Exploration".
