Synopsis
Multiple sclerosis is as much a mystery as it is a disease, but this chronic and often-disabling condition of the central nervous system affects an estimated 350,000 nationwide. From the first moment of her diagnosis, author Margaret Blackstone took charge and educated herself on every aspect of her condition. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with MS. She provides illustrative charts and tables, crucial information about the nature of the disease, treatment options, diet, exercise, social concerns, emotional issues, networking with others, and much more. The First Year—Multiple Sclerosis will be an invaluable guide for everyone learning to live with a MS diagnosis.

"[Offers] practical answers at a time of profound fragility." -- Richard Cohen
"[A]n important book for patients and their families. It includes resources for travel, MS Organizations, employment laws, alternative and complementary therapies, and medications."
"Blackstone is an ideal person to write about the first year of living with MS... [she] delivers as truthful but 'don't panic' picture of MS, validating and informing about the facts, the fears, and the nuts and bolts."
"In Margaret Blackstone's gracefully organized journey through the first year of multiple sclerosis, personal stories and important information are seamlessly woven to provide comfort and power to those newly diagnosed. Ms. Blackstone's book offers the best medicine there is: hope through knowledge and positive action." -- Studs Terkel
