Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

As a doctor and psychiatrist who has MS, the author of this refreshingly frank and practical book is able to draw on personal experience, as well as professional knowledge and insights. In openly discussing the issues of honesty in diagnosis, and the emotional, social and physical problems faced by people with MS and by their families, he offers uniquely sympathetic help that has brought this book the highest acclaim from all those working in the field. Continually reprinted and updated since it was first published in 1985, this seventh reprint includes information on the drug Beta Interferon, currently being evaluated as a possible effective treatment for some types of MS, and the valuable resources section has been thoroughly revised up to the time of going to press. A classic on the subject, this book brings hope to all those who have MS, showing how they can come to terms with their illness and live positive lives, despite the suffering and changes forces upon them.
