Reseña del editor

This is the definitive guide for everyone concerned with multiple sclerosis - those who have the disease, those who share their lives with someone who has it, 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 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, a comprehensive list of relevant resources, and a guide to commonly used medications.
