Preface
About This Book
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disorder that strikes young adults. It is a difficult, unpredictable autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It is estimated that about 400,000 Americans and 2.5 million people around the world are affected by the disease. It generally strikes people between the ages of 20 and 40 and more commonly affects women. Symptoms may include pain, sudden weakness, or difficulties with vision, speech, or mobility. Many people with multiple sclerosis experience problems such as fatigue, a limp, difficulties with bladder control, and need to use a wheelchair full-time. Currently, there is no cure, but several therapies can relieve the symptoms and, in some cases, delay disease progression.
Multiple Sclerosis Sourcebook, Second Edition provides information about risk factors, causes, and types of multiple sclerosis and its effects on mobility, vision, bladder function, speech, swallowing, and cognition. Treatments and rehabilitation therapies are
