Descriere

Winner of a 2009 Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Award

Written for all people with MS, regardless of the type, severity of symptoms, gender, age, or time since diagnosis, The Multiple Sclerosis Manifesto: Action to Take, Principles to Live By contains critical information organized under “action” statements and using examples of how this information can most effectively be used to help the readers. Author Julia Stachowiak, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2004, has crafted a road map that not only provides encouragement but also offers education and motivation for readers. In 12 chapters, Stachowiak covers every aspect of an activist MS life, from large concepts like gaining confidence, motivating others, and taking control to practical tools like constructing an MS identity, exploring complementary and alternative treatments, and learning about the rights and responsibilities that come with the condition. In the process, she offers readers with MS a chance to transform both the medical and healthcare industries and themselves.
