Part I explores basic techniques to researching multiple sclerosis (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other patient networks dedicated to multiple sclerosis. It also gives you sources of information that can help you find a doctor in your local area specializing in treating multiple sclerosis. Collectively, the material presented in Part I is a complete primer on basic research topics for patients with multiple sclerosis. Part II moves on to advanced research dedicated to multiple sclerosis. Part II is intended for those willing to invest many hours of hard work and study. It is here that we direct you to the latest scientific and applied research on multiple sclerosis. When possible, contact names, links via the Internet, and summaries are provided. It is in Part II where the vocabulary process becomes important as authors publishing advanced research frequently use highly specialized language. In general, every attempt is made to recommend 'free-to-use' options. Part III provides appendices of useful background reading for all patients with multiple sclerosis or related disorders. The appendices are dedicated to more pragmatic issues faced by many patients with multiple sclerosis. Accessing materials via medical libraries may be the only option for some readers, so a guide is provided for finding local medical libraries which are open to the public. Part III, therefore, focuses on advice that goes beyond the biological and scientific issues facing patients with multiple sclerosis."
