MS books?
 
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.

Thanks! Looks like a great suggestion from the reviews on that book. I'm adding it to my list of going-to-get books.

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.
