This is a unique guide for women dealing with the difficulties of multiple sclerosis. After she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1976, author Judith Lynn Nichols realized that people suffering from chronic illness fare better when they share experiences with people fighting the same disease. While researching MS on the Internet, she connected with a group of women fighting to live with MS. The group quickly became each woman's support network, and, in the daily emails compiled in this book, they offered each other wisdom and humor about everything this disorder affects: diagnosis, employment, spirituality, family reactions, sexuality, pain control, depression, and more.

This book addresses specific concerns of females affected by multiple sclerosis, where women are disproportionally impacted by the disease. MS is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system affecting young adults of reproductive age. This book presents the current understanding of genetic variables, hormonal influences, immunological milieu and neurological outcomes, discussing issues such as fertility, pregnancy management, and menopause, as well as end of life care and mortality in women with MS. With contributions by international experts, this interdisciplinary book will serve as a useful reference and guide for MS specialists, general neurologists, obstetricians/gynecologists, physicians in training, family practice doctors, clinical nurse specialists in multiple sclerosis, and all other healthcare professionals involved in the care and treatment of women affected by MS.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system that affects over 2.4 million people world-wide. Disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in females. The exact cause of MS is unknown, but an environmental factor is thought to trigger MS in genetically predisposed persons. This book focuses on MS and its effects on women with regards to quality of life, reproduction and bone health. Fatigue, as one of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), is also examined in this book - in particular, the relational coping strategies used by mothers with MS to manage their fatigue while parenting young children. A discussion on the sex related differences concerning MS presentation, signs and symptoms, therapeutics, response to treatment and quality of life among patient populations is included, as well as the relationship between self-efficacy, self-esteem, hope and disability in women with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the nervous system, affecting about 1 million people worldwide. Even though it has been known for over a hundred years, no cause or cure has yet been discovered-but now there is hope. New therapies have been shown to slow the disease progress in some patients, and the pace of discoveries about the cellular machinery of the brain and spinal cord has accelerated. This book presents a comprehensive overview of multiple sclerosis today, as researchers seek to understand its processes, develop therapies that will slow or halt the disease and perhaps repair damage, offer relief for specific symptoms, and improve the abilities of MS patients to function in their daily lives. The panel reviews existing knowledge and identifies key research questions, focusing on: Research strategies that have the greatest potential to understand the biological mechanisms of recovery and to translate findings into specific strategies for therapy. How people adapt to MS and the research needed to improve the lives of people with MS. Management of disease symptoms (cognitive impairment, depression, spasticity, vision problems, and others). The committee also discusses ways to build and financially support the MS research enterprise, including a look at challenges inherent in designing clinical trials. This book will be important to MS researchers, research funders, health care advocates for MS research and treatment, and interested patients and their families.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disorder affecting the central nervous system, and affects an estimated 2.5 million people worldwide, 400,000 in the US and 85,000 in the UK. Two-three times as many women as men have MS. The cause is unknown but genetic factors may be implicated. MS occurs when myelin, the fatty sheath that protects the nerves, is lost in large areas, leaving scar tissue called sclerosis and disrupting the neuronal pathways in the brain. Symptoms are various and may include changes in mental ability (such as poor memory and attention span), problems with bladder control, depression, fatigue, difficulty walking, balance problems, abnormal sensations such as numbness and pins and needles, and pain. However, contrary to popular myth, MS doesn't always result in severe disability and much can be done to make life easier. This book looks at: possible causes, symptoms and treatment; occupational and speech therapy; pregnancy; the latest on diet, including the popular 'Best Bet' exclusion diet; exercise; complementary therapies; and emotional help.

Having lived with Multiple Sclerosis ("MS") herself since 2001, author Lisa Cohen defines the "BS of MS" as an amalgam of the physical changes and losses caused by MS, the life changes and challenges that result, and the psychological and emotional "stuff" that comes along with those changes and challenges. This BS of MS may cause women living with MS to "live small," feel burdened, and feel defeated on a daily basis. An easy-read reference handbook, "Overcome the BS of MS" provides a 3-Step Plan that is a system of preparation, personal empowerment, and conscious forward action that is designed to help women living with MS to consistently overcome the BS of MS. "Overcome the BS of MS" is for any woman who wants to truly feel like she is actively living and enjoying a life that she chooses, even though she also happens to be living with MS. It provides the tools to get a grip on the "BS of MS," manage it like a boss, prevail over it, and start racking up wins.
