Customer Reviews

informed patient

Although I see my neurologist on a regular basis,I could not remember all the questions to ask him.I felt very uneducated about my own illness until I started reading this book.An excellent resource book!!

The Best Book on MS

I have reviewed all of the major lay books on MS. I think MS For Dummies is, by far, the best of all of the general books on MS. It is easy to read and contains information that should be helpful for everyone from lay readers who do not know anything about MS to MS-specialized health professionals. It contains a huge amount of information. It may be read cover-to-cover or be kept as a reference book. I highly recommend this book. I frequently recommend it to my patients and to other health professionals.

Real useable information for everyone

This book covers everything (even questions I didn't think to ask) in such a manner as to be easy and interesting to follow. There are links and references throughout that help the reader research any given topic to what ever level they desire. I highly recommend this book to either the patient, friend, or family member of someone with MS.

Life changing

I've been living with MS for 5 years. Mostly dennying it to myself. I always thought MS was just motor/sensory symptoms and blamed myself for the insomnia, the fatigue, the forgetfulness... I thought I was just being lazy and I needed to work harder. This book opened my mind to the real facts about MS and helped me to cope with my illness.

MS for Dummies makes you smarter!!

This book puts so much info into easy terms. Very easy to read and flip from chapter to chapter to find information. I f I had this book a year ago, I could have saved myself the trouble of reading at least 6 books. Jammed with information and resources!! Great reference book!!
