In MS, the coating around nerve fibres (myelin) is damaged, causing a range of symptoms, such as vision problems, balance problems and dizziness, fatigue, bladder problems and stiffness and/or spasms. Memory, thinking and emotions may also be affected. The last few years have witnessed a revolution in our understanding of the causes of MS and an unprecedented appreciation of the prognosis. And while MS remains incurable, new treatments have transformed the prospects for people with this debilitating disease - some drugs may even slow the physical decline and healthcare professionals' ability to alleviate symptoms has improved dramatically. This book presents a thorough, up to the minute look at medical and practical issues in multiple sclerosis, so that those affected can make informed choices about treatment and lifestyle.
