Multiple Sclerosis

By Clay Farris Naff

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease where the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves. The unprotected nerves can't function as they normally would. The damaged nerves produce a wide range of symptoms that vary in severity. Your readers are provided with essential information on MS. This book also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes. Compelling first-person narratives by people coping with Multiple Sclerosis give readers a first-hand experience. Readers will learn from the words of patients, family members, or caregivers. The symptoms, causes, and treatments are explained in detail. Alternative treatments are also covered. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
