Description
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It can cause problems with movement, communication, and thinking. Some people with MS may experience a flare-up, which can be very difficult. There is no cure for MS, but treatments can help people manage the disease.
Multiple Sclerosis affects hopes and expectations, restructures relationships, modifies careers and changes lives. It is a disease of variable onset, problematic diagnosis, unpredicatable prognosis and no effective treatment. Using unique autobiographical accounts of people with the disease, Ian Robinson sensitively portrays the difficulties and frustrations of the struggle to make sense of the clinical diagnosis and management of an illness which is effectively a way of life.
