Customer Rating: 

In a way, you could read this book as a biography of an illness, as told by a foot soldier in the battle against it. Dr. Weiner's observations, not only in clinics and labs, but in the lives of those he sees who are affected by MS are endearing, thought-provoking and eye opening. This book really lays bare the frustrations of patients and doctors dealing with this illness. A must-read for anyone who is or knows someone living with MS.
I look forward to an update on this book.

Want to know why your MS meds cost so much. Take a look into the world of MS research. I read this book five years ago after initial diagnosis and was thrilled to re-read the updated version.

If you have been recently diagnosed with MS. This is the first book you should read. If you have MS and have not read this book, you should.

I've had MS for over 20 years, and keeping up with all treatment options can be difficult. This book will give you a solid foundation for understanding what makes MS "tick". There are many miracle cures, claims based on lack of sound scientific proof for MS. This book helps you get through all of that "noise" with clear information on the disease. Reading this book will help you understand MS, and if so, be a more knowledgeable patient.

This book is very informative about the history of MS treatment and research. Its causes, current reatment options, and research. Often frustrating for those with MS, is how long its taking to find a "cure". This book explains the road of research and treatment. There is some medical jargon, not daunting, it is well written for the patient and medical professionals.

Tips: For quick reference, keep an index card handy to write down some acronyms used throughout the book. You don't really need one for this book, but I have found having my paperback copy of Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary handy, helps during reading books and articles on any medical condition.
