Meeting the Challenge of Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Rating:
Summary: Hard to Say
Review: I was a little disappointed in this book. It is actually smaller than I expected. The section on Current Therapies for Progres- sive MS is about two pages long and basically says.....there are, currently, no treatments for progressive MS. The rest of the book deals w/ symptom management, most of which I was already familiar with (which drugs were regularly prescribed for which complaints, gimmicks that were helpful in dealing w/ incontinence, how to incorporate a bowel regimen, etc.)
In other words, I found nothing new in this book: just a lot of things to do to make us feel like all is not lost. Unfortunately, filling my day with regimens and symptom management activities is not what I call Meeting the Challenge. I think of it more as surrendering to the Drudgery. The book didn't give me cause to feel hopeful nor did it give me any new information that I could take w/ me to my next neurologist appointment. I was disappointed.

Review: This book is well researched, and organized. It is helpful, and supportive in coming to terms with a devastating diagnosis.I am buying a copy for a friend because, I have no intention of loaning mine out.
