Multiple sclerosis strikes one in a thousand North Americans, usually in early adulthood, just as they are building careers and starting families. Because the disease involves the central nervous system, the effects are wide-ranging and difficult to predict.

This updated edition features new drugs and therapies. Topics include:

• What MS is, and who suffers from it
• How MS is diagnosed as possible, probable or definite
• Why the disease affects different people in different ways
• Differences between relapsing-remitting MS and progressive MS
