Description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a myriad of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms that impact function and quality of life for those with the disease and those providing care. Navigating Life with Multiple Sclerosis is a practical guide for meeting the challenges of this life-long, unpredictable disease. This insightful guide offers a detailed description of the essential components of comprehensive MS care, from disease and symptom management, rehabilitation to enhance function, safety and independence, social and emotional support, and attention to overall health and wellness for both patients and caregivers. Each chapter offers solutions and guidance based upon the authors' interdisciplinary perspectives and years of clinical and research experience. The person with MS is the center of the care team and this book provides guidance for communicating effectively with healthcare providers, participating comfortably in shared decision making, and advocating confidently for personal healthcare needs and priorities.
