Description
Too often, multiple sclerosis is thought of only as "the crippler of young adults." But in fact, 75 percent of all people with MS will never need a wheelchair. In Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Louis J. Rosner and Shelley Ross explain that there genuinely is new hope, both for controlling the disease today and for curing it in the future. Multiple Sclerosis covers all the latest information on how to control the symptoms of the disease -- including thorough discussions of the roles of stress, diet, and pregnancy -- along with providing an analysis of the current treatments and of all the latest medical breakthroughs. Also covered are: * The diagnosis (including the revolutionary process of magnetic resonance imaging) * The varying symptoms and courses of the disease * The emotional problems that can come with MS and how to cope with them Whether you've just been diagnosed as having MS or you've lived with it for a while, or even if the person with MS is someone you know and love, you should know that misinformation is a far greater enemy than the disease. So though Multiple Sclerosis doesn't provide you with a cure, it can give you the best tool to beat MS -- the facts.
