“An informative and basic approach for mostly new patients, or potential patients, facing the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Having lived with a progressive form of MS with curious symptoms that even baffle my neurologists, for almost a decade, the majority of the information in this book was already known. However, I did learn something new, especially new drug treatments that are showing progress in slowing the progression of the disease that I will most definitely bring to the attention of my doctors. However, if you are wanting definitive answers of the how's and why's of the disease, you are not going to find them here because you can't find them anywhere, but this has to be the best and most gentle book in opening up the uncertain future for the newly diagnosed. I say gentle because of the personal nature the author takes of retelling the experiences of dealing with different testing procedures, and even symptoms of the disease, are really and truly like for someone living with the disease.”
