Can Do Multiple Sclerosis is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1984 to offer MS programs based on the philosophy of founder, Jimmie Heuga: that a person can have a chronic disease and also maintain their health. Believe it or not, at that time MS patients were encouraged NOT to exercise or basically ""strain"" themselves in any way. Today, Can Do MS has expanded Jimmie's philosophy from a focus on physical fitness with MS to a focus on the whole person and family living with the impacts of MS. Programs include education, nutrition, mental well-being, and exercise, as well as learnin… (meer)

This isn't the type of book you sit down and read through from start to finish...and that's a good thing. After an introduction to goal setting, information about the different challenges of MS are presented by a variety of experts. What's great about this book is its practicality. It's not some touchy-feely book trying to get you to cope with MS - it's a practical guide with solid advice on how to cope with MS. One of the most useful parts of the book are the lists of specific, realistic ways to address the battle with MS. ( )

This book had great information for someone who's been recently diagnosed. It has great suggestions regarding how to deal with some of the most difficult aspects of MS ~ the exhaustion and physical limitations. I don't know that there's much there for those who've been dealing with the disease for a long time, but would heartily recommend for the newly diagnosed.

As a person with primary progressive MS, I was delighted to receive an early reviewer copy of this book. My diagnosis was in the mid-'90s and I've had since then to educate myself about it, but this book contains a lot of information I didn't know and presents it in an easy-to-read small bites interspersed with break-out boxes and "What can I do?" strategies. The writing can seem a bit stiff--no first person ("you") allowed and a lot of passive verbs--but it's also refreshing to get away from the chatty self-help or wrenching personal testimony found in other books about MS. A collection of articles written by several experts, "Can Do Multiple Sclerosis" was developed in conjunction with the nonprofit Can Do Multiple Sclerosis (formerly the Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis).
The book is useful for patients, their medical team, and those who love or care for them. ( )

This book is fantastic! I requested it under the early reviewer program because I have a son with MS and my husband has RSD/CRPS (which has many of the same side effects as MS, although with a different origin). Both of them can benefit from reading this book. It really does empower and it does so without being condescending about it. It clearly spells out the effects of the disease on the body and mind. It also suggests sensible ways of dealing with those effects. . . along with how and when to contact professionals to help you. I wish this was required reading in SO many areas; physicians, physical therapists, health insurance companies and many, many others. It would make living with MS a little bit easier, because the patient would be understood more than he/she is now. The last chapter, Support Partners, is a must read for loved ones, too. Way to go Can Do Multiple Sclerosis organization! This book is a job well done! ( )

I read this book through several times. Having a friend with MS and watching her struggle and losing mobility has been painful. I felt helpless and really didn't understand what she was going through even after doing a little research.. This book combines all the information and then some in one easy to understand book. I would recommend to it anyone who knows someone with MS. The Support Partner chapter was especially uplifting. This is one of the best self-help books on this subject.
