About this work

Description

"The brand-new third edition of this classic guide to multiple sclerosis continues to be the definitive guide for anyone concerned with this disease--those who have MS, those who share their lives with someone who has it, and all health care professionals involved with its management. It covers a wide range of topics in a format that is familiar, accessible, and easily understood. Its question and answer format reflects the collaborative relationship between people with MS and their health care professionals. The authors of each chapter answer the questions that they have been asked repeatedly in the course of their work with MS. The questions provide a model and a vocabulary for those who are not certain what questions to ask or how to ask them, and makes it possible for readers to easily find information about specific topics and questions based on their individual needs."--The publisher.
