Customer Reviews

Easy-to-read, informative.

I haven't read any other books on MS and don't have the disease, but I am guessing this book might be of significant help and comfort to someone who is diagnosed with MS or living with someone with MS. It's very well-written in a conversational tone by a British doctor/psychiatrist who has MS himself. It's a nice cross between straight medical info, personal anecdotes, and wholistic self-help suggestions. I recommend it highly.
