In terms understandable to the lay person, a doctor explains new developments in MS: the advantages and limitations of Betaseron (interferon beta-1b), the first drug recognized by the FDA for the treatment of some patients with MS; the use of Prozac and other antidepressants to combat psychological effects; experimental therapies, both conventional and unconventional; more effective drugs to treat impotence; new laws against discrimination in employment.
The concise text and illustrations will help both the person with newly diagnosed MS and the individual who has been living with MS for years to understand the disease better and to continue to live successfully and fully.
