This is the definitive guide for everyone concerned with multiple sclerosis those who have MS, those who share their lives with someone who has MS, 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 book was developed under the auspices of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers, and the contributors are leading authorities in all areas of multiple sclerosis management. The questions relevant to each topic were assembled from a variety of sources, including the computerized index of all questions telephoned into the National MS Society, the questions most frequently asked of the health care professionals participating in the preparation of the book, and questions suggested by a task force of patients and family members. Each chapter contains a list of references and recommended reading for readers interested in pursuing more detailed information on a particular topic. The guide also contains a comprehensive glossary of all terms commonly used in MS management, as well as a list of relevant resources for individuals with MS and their families. The chapter on treatments includes descriptions of each of the medications commonly used in the treatment of MS and the management of its symptoms.
