Title: The First Year-Multiple Sclerosis: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (The First Year Series) by Margaret Blackstone, Saud A. Sadiq ISBN: 1-56924-522-3 Publisher: Marlowe & Company Pub. Date: April, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: good read for newly diagnosed
Comment: Excellent -- heartening and informative.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good introduction to life with MS
Comment: I thought this was a good general introduction for those newly diagnosed with mild symptoms of MS. It's a little less scary than some of the others. Since it's newer then many other books on the market, there is more emphasis on hope for the future.
Women will like this book better than men. The emotional & wellness essays are strongest aspect of the book. There were a couple of minor errors in fact but overall a very good book.
Rating: 1
Summary: Inaccurate, far from thorough and poorly researched
Comment: The living / emotional side is ok - nothing great that you can't find elsewhere. The factual information is inaccurate - the author claims that to travel on an airplane with syringes you need a letter from your doctor. This is WRONG. To carry syringes onto a plane, you must have the prescription label for the medication and this is not mentioned once in the book. Additionally, the author claims information from various sources but there aren't footnotes to check on some of the claims - while they are probably accurate quotes, I would like to be able to track down the original information / study myself. There was a reference to the department of medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. When I tried to find the original source, I found that there isn't a department of medicine at the National Academy of Sciences (it's the Institute of Medicine).
Not all symptoms are discussed either - incontinence is a huge issue for MS patients and it's only discussed from a woman's point of view in relation to sex. Lastly, the discussion of medications is biased towards the medication the author takes. Overall, a major disappointment. Don't waste your money or your time.
