Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Section

In this section of the site, you will find lots of information on multiple sclerosis.

This includes descriptions of multiple sclerosis symptoms; multiple sclerosis facts; important information on the side effects of the multiple sclerosis (ms) drugs (including a glossary); definitions and descriptions of the types of multiple sclerosis; as well as useful advice and links to other ms resources.

If you are new (or not) to multiple sclerosis (ms), highly recommended is the Beginners Guide to MS section.

Don't forget to check out the recommended reading for books about multiple sclerosis if you are looking for a book.

These can be ordered directly from this site via Amazon.

If you are looking for other sites on multiple sclerosis, you can find a fairly comprehensive list in the links section, including multiple sclerosis associations.

Definitely encouraged is a visit to a multiple sclerosis forum / message board. These are always lively and full of great information. (I can sometimes be found on the ms forum at BrainTalk Communities.)
