Multiple Sclerosis: One Owners Manual - Paperback

by Andrew Scott (Author)

Andrew Scott was diagnosed with MS in 1994 but had all the early signs well before that. Upon diagnosis, apart from a three-day course of steroids, he was offered nothing that would treat his condition. The advice was to go home and wait for the next attack.

Twenty years later he walked into an emergency ward and said, "I think I need some help". This time, he was offered disease modifying therapies but no explanation of how they worked.

In the 17 years between consultations with neurologists, the basic message was unchanged: We don't know what causes this.

This book is a summary of what Scott has learned over nearly three decades of dealing with MS. It is designed for medical advisors, for people who want to learn about MS, and most importantly, for those who have the condition.

In this book, Scott addresses issues associated with MS such as fatigue, spasticity, bowel and bladder issues, pain, posture and speech problems. The book offers suggestions on dealing with MS and provides an in-depth detailed explanation of how important the energy molecule ATP is to maintaining health. Scott explains how muscles contract and what needs to be done to help them relax.

Andrew Scott continues to lead a normal life without resorting to immunosuppressive drugs. In this book, he shares his story in the hope that it will help you with your own MS journey.
