I've been reading online a LOT, but I'm still thirsty for knowledge. Got any good MS book suggestions? I have no fear of difficult material as long as its a good book. Is the Jelinek book good? I've been thinking about grabbing that one.

This was the first book I read after being diagnosed and I loved it. I was a bit put off by the silly title but the feeling I was left with is that despite all we don't know about MS there are brave physicians/scientists who have made their life's work trying to find some answers to this miserable disease.

It sort of put in perspective just how tricky MS is.

The MS Diet Book by Roy L. Swank M.D. and Barbara Brewer. Explains Dr. Swank's theory of how MS arises. Explains how he thinks it can be controlled through diet. I believe it's his second book,after this one, which describes the blood transfusion treatments used in Portland Oregon, which held promise but were discontinued after he retired. I think the second book was The MS Cook Book.
