Debbie Petrina understands MS: she has spent 41 years living with it and over 30 years educating, counseling, interacting and volunteering through numerous channels to help anyone deal with it. Since publishing Managing MS-Straight Talk from a Thirty-One Year Survivor in 2011, she was inspired to write this enhanced 2nd edition as her MS journey continued, explaining how to proceed in the complicated and ever-changing world of MS.
Newly-diagnosed or older with MS? Trying to figure out the basics, what treatments to take, symptoms, interrelationships? Or, how to handle difficult subjects like bladder/bowel problems, mental health, stigmas and employment? In a "what to know, what to do" user-friendly format, readers are guided easily through current MS information and resources available today.
Managing MS offers patients and their loved ones hands-on knowledge and support to make life easier and less fearful. Others assisting MS patients will understand MS from a survivor's viewpoint, and how they can help them move forward.
"Debbie Petrina's remarkable book will be helpful to people with MS and their loved ones as they embark on their own journeys." -Barry A. Hendin M.D., Center for Neurology and Spine, Phoenix, AZ; MSAA Chief Medical Officer
"Petrina's book is rich not only in experience and information, it includes validation from licensed professionals. Her take on conventional wisdom, peer communication, and advice feels just right to this reviewer." -Kim Dolce, MSer, Moderator, MultipleSclerosis.net
"This book is an excellent and practical how-to guide for people newly diagnosed with MS. I wish my neurologist had recommended it, it changed everything for me. If you're living with MS one way or another, I can't recommend this book enough." -Amazon, Verified Purchase
