Managing Multiple Sclerosis, with all the associated problems of a progressive chronic disease, requires special knowledge on the part of the Clinician. From which drugs to prescribe for an acute attack, to the use of new drugs available to help control the disease process, to managing the myriad of symptoms and neurologic complications associated with the disease, the Clinician must have a full armament of tools available to be effective. This book provides the basic groundwork you need to treat these patients. It is designed for all Physicians who manage the disease outside a comprehensive MS care centre, emphasising those therapies that can be used successfully by the non-MS specialist and indicating when referral is appropriate. Most importantly, it gives you the tools to improve the quality of life for your patients, allowing them to maximise their capabilities and take advantage of all available resources
