The MS Workbook: Living Fully with Multiple Sclerosis

The MS Workbook: Living Fully With Multiple Sclerosis This book is wonderful. It helps me to focus on what is important and to rethink the ways I have been doing things. It is a great handbook for those with those who have been recently diagnosed and with those who have been struggling with everyday life.

This book has a lot of useful and supportive information. Very well done. However, if you are newly diagnosed with limited symptoms or a "benign" case you may want to hold off purchasing the book (or purchase and store for a later time) since much of the material seems more relevant to those with advanced cases. For example, all of the talk about wheelchairs, major cognitive dysfunction, applying for disability etc. can be scary and overwhelming for those struggling to come to terms with a recent diagnosis.

I agree with the other reviewers here, this is an excellent guide for those with MS. The workbook is separated into 15 chapters that are filled with great information dealing with the disease. It is also fairly new (2006), so it reviews some of the newer medical information for MS. I also like the worksheets that are spread throughout the book. Some deal with coping with the disease, questions to ask your neurologist, insurance issues as well as many more topics. These are a great addition and will help anyone who feels overwhelmed with their diagnosis. I reccomend this book to anyone who has the disease and needs some help dealing with it. I actually wish they would give a copy of this when you are diagnosed. It is that good.

If you've got multiple sclerosis, you must have this workbook which offers an important set of practical tips for caring for physical and mental health and more. From accommodations in the workplace and handling health insurance issues to spiritual concerns and government and private resources, THE MS WORKBOOK: LIVING FULLY WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS comes from a team of Ph.Ds and a doctor and offers a range of practical tips for all facets of daily living.

for all who are faced with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, this book is invaluable. a scary prospect, a sense of being alone. this book helps the reader to not feel so alone. it expertly discusses fatigue, pain, healthcare and insurance, coping, money, and social / familial relations, among many other topics. more than just a simple discussion book, it really is an exercise booklet. it helps you to think through, work through, conclude, and deal with various issues that you likely will face at some time or another following your diagnosis with multiple sclerosis. i'd give it 6 stars if i could. an outstanding resource for clinicians who work with patients with m.s. as well as for those who have m.s. certainly worth the price!
