Hi everyone...just time for a quick post before Desperate Housewives starts. (My guilty pleasure is this show with a glass of good wine)

I need to find a good up to date book on MS...not too medical, it's for my husband to read. I was at Borders last night, they only had two MS books, which were:
The MS Workbook (nope,not for me)
Curing MS (alternative therapies/diet)

Being the medically inclined gal that I am, and believing strongly in technology/advances in medical science, I don't want the natural method books. I would never argue against diet/vitamin/natural therapies, but only in addition to mainline medical theory. Therefore...I'm looking for some book that might explain the basics to my numbskull (no pun intended, I am the "numbskull", ha ha ha) husband. I got an excellent book from the library,which I will post seperately, but it's more psychology. Can anyone help me out?

I recommend MS For Dummies. I've given it to all my family members and friends. -Jen

I found David Lander's book "Fall Down Laughing" to be a great read. Full of information and with a light presentation........Steve

PS: David played Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley........

I also liked the Montel Willams book. Things he wrote like feet burning and not liking to be touch made me relize I was not alone, someone understood.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
