Editorial Review:
One of the most widely recommended guides to living with multiple sclerosis, now completely revised and updated, including the latest research, the most recent information on treatments (including the news on Tysabri®), and new tips for managing MS. Multiple sclerosis is as much a mystery as it is a disease, but this chronic and often disabling condition of the central nervous system affects over 400,000 people nationwide. From the moment of her diagnosis in 2000, Margaret Blackstone took charge and educated herself on every aspect of her condition. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with MS. She provides crucial information about: The most up-to-date treatment options Effective alternative therapies Choosing the right medical team Discussing your condition with family, friends, and co-workers Current medical research Stress management and exercises Extensive online and community resources Strategies for accomplishing necessary lifestyle changes

I was just diagnosed with MS in January and so far I have found this book to be very helpful.
Rating: - the first year multiple sclerosis
Great Book!! With just a recent diagnosis of MS, I have many books. This book covers it all. I encorage anyone with MS to read it.
Rating:  - Excellent MS book
The item was perfect. It was everything I expected. I have enjoyed reading it and it arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
Rating: - Good overall book; ideal for newly diagnosed.
I burned through this book in a weekend, so curious to know what was in store for me as a newly diagnosed person. I found it to be comforting (which I needed at the time), but light in some of the issues I have subsequently faced (such as unsympathetic employers, inability to pay for injection medicines). I'd like to see a book on the challenges of everyday life for newly diagnosed...I think I could have benefitted from someone else's experinces.
Rating: - excellent
being too frugal to purchase the 2004 version, i wanted to see if first i would like it, so i bought the very inexpensive 2002 edition. these comments are focused only on the 2002 edition. blackstone writes in a very easy to understand manner. she talks about things that are most important to the person with m.s. she identifies relevant topics. at times, i wished that she would have gone into more detail on some topics. on the other hand, it is so easy to read and suggestions are very helpful. ...
