I picked up 3 of the "recommended" books from Amazon.com at the same time and found this one to be the most positive in attitude. I am glad I read it first before jumping into the others. It offers a good overview.
It does need to be updated to include recent advances in treatment. Despite being written in in early 90's it bearly touches the wide-spread usage of the ABC treatments now available (Avonex, Betaserone, and Copaxone) among others. If someone could reach the authors and encourage an update!
I would still recommend it as a best place to start.
Format:Paperback
I have read a few books about MS but this was the only one that seemed to give enough information in a way that I could understand it. It was neither too much in medical jargon nor so simplified that it made me feel stupid. I liked it, and thought it was informative and somewhat comforting.
Format:Paperback
There is some good information in this book
dealing with some of the factual bits about MS,
but their attitude about MS is really unhealthy
in my opinion. The authors have a very
"Don't talk about it, don't tell anyone, lie to your
bosses if necessary, ignore it for the most part and
maybe it will go away. That is their practical
advice.
