Editorial Review:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be a terrifying diagnosis for anyone to face. But, as with many other potentially devastating problems, MS can be best controlled and best lived with when sufferers balance prudent lifestyle changes with effective treatment—and these sorts of choices require sound and current information. This workbook, written by a team of doctors and psychologists from the renowned Western MS Center at the University of Washington School of Medicine, is the first available for people with MS. It covers a wide variety of problems, everything from symptom management to sexual function to career opportunities to spirituality.
"The MS Workbook is the most in-depth guide to living well with MS that I have seen yet. The pages are filled with practical, reader-friendly information on everything from cognitive challenges and fatigue, to relapse triggers and unconventional therapies. But it is the checklists, worksheets, and quizzes that will actively engage readers and empower them to fully incorporate these life-changing strategies." - Editor, MSFocus, national magazine of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation

For example, all of the talk about wheelchairs, major cognitive dysfunction, applying for disability etc. can be scary and overwhelming for those struggling to come to terms with a recent ...

Rating: - Very good guide for those with MS
I agree with the other reviewers here, this is an excellent guide for those with MS. The workbook is separated into 15 chapters that are filled with great information dealing with the disease. It is also fairly new (2006), so it reviews some of the newer medical information for MS.
I also like the worksheets that are spread throughout the book. Some deal with coping with the disease, questions to ask your neurologist, insurance issues as well as many more topics. These are a great addition ... Read More
