Multiple Sclerosis For Dummies (PDF)

Your trusted, compassionate guide to living with MS

Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) doesn't mean your
life is over. Everyone's MS is different and no one can predict
exactly what yours will be like. The fact is, lots of people live
their lives with MS without making a full-time job of it.

MS--what kinds of symptoms it can cause, how it can affect
your life at home and at work, what you can do to feel and function
better, and how you can protect yourself and your family against
the long-term unpredictability of the disease. You'll learn how to
make treatment and lifestyle choices that work for you, what
qualities to look for in a neurologist and the rest of your
healthcare team, how to manage fatigue, the pros and cons of
alternative medicine, why and how to talk to your kids about MS,
stress management strategies, your rights under the Americans with
Disabilities act, and so much more.
