Media Reviews
A number of people with MS are described, showing how each person's attitude to their MS plays a role in developing anxiety etc. The immune system is looked at, and its role in sleep and body temperature. The author confirms that these experiences do happen, they are not all in your head, and you are not the only person to have them. There are helpful suggestions made, such as having a good support network, a strong religious belief or spirituality and confidence. -MS Society Member Clive Whiteside Overall a well researched book which is an enjoyable read and very helpful, not for people with Ms but for their families and health profesionals. - MS Society Member Evelyn Wright| A page turner written with ease and flare that keep you wanting to read and enjoying the ride...Jeffrey's postive and realistic attitude will make you think and the book will give you suggestions and options you either use already or might try in the future...It's good to know we are not alone.
