Customer Reviews

Basics, nothing radical here

THis book by Paul O'Connor was terrific. It covers all of the basics and more. Easy to read and informative. I picked it up and finished it within a few hours and I am a slow reader. There is nothing radical or ridiculous in here unlike with some other books. Normal diet, beneficial medications, moderate exercise and life can be good with MS. Try to stay away from books like "The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book". They are pretty radical in approach and could leave you depressed if you can't keep up with the insanely low, low fat diet. It was the first book I picked up after being diagnosed with MS and was depressed at the harse look at how to eat. Leave that book alone unless you are already on a low fat diet and can easily move to an even lower fat diet. If you ever thought of joining a cult then that book is for you. If not, buy MS, Everything you need to know and you will be much happier. Life is a journey, not a guided tour.

Very informative!!!

I was just recently diagnosed with MS and I found this book a wealth of information. It had answers to all of my questions. I would recommend this for anyone who would like to have more knowledge on this disease.
