Multiple Sclerosis Reviews

A most worthwhile resource for people with MS, their families and caregivers, and the medical and other support staff who work with them. Highly recommended.-Library Journal 11/1/2011

In this comprehensive new edition, Dr. Kalb and colleagues have successfully blended together the expertise of professionals with real-life examples that bear witness to the realities of life with MS. If you could have only one resource for MS information, this is the one. Every professional who works in the field of MS as well as people with MS and their families would benefit from the critical questions posed in this book and the cogent answers provided.-Peggy Crawford, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Department of Neurology, University of Cincinnati Medical School

I have recommended this book to my patients since its first edition because it is an extremely comprehensive reference for people no matter what stage they are in on their journey with MS. There is comfort in knowing others have asked similar questions to those they have and that answers are available that are straightforward and understandable this edition catches up to new information and ways to manage the disease but retains the basics about how to live with the disease and move forward.-Patricia Kenney, RN, CNP, MSCN, Editor of the forthcoming The Can Do Multiple Sclerosis Guide to Lifestyle Empowerment
