About the Book

The book is organized around the following topics: * What is Progressive Multiple Sclerosis? Reviews the nature of progressive multiple sclerosis and how it differs from relapsing MS. * The Diagnosis of Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Focuses on the symptoms and clinical patterns that often accompany the development of progressive MS--allowing its diagnosis. * Disease-Modifying Therapy. Examines a range of disease-modifying therapies that are substantially different than those used to manage relapsing-remitting disease. Reviews the use of the familiar "A,B,C" drugs in progressive disease and discusses additional therapies used primarily in progressive disease. * Managing Difficult Symptoms. Identifies persistent symptoms and shows how to reduce and control them. Management may involve lifestyle changes, physical management, the judicious use of medications, and other options. These are discussed in detail for symptoms, functional problems, and psychosocial concerns that are very common with MS. * Tools for the Transition. Offers advice for adjusting to the disease. Outlines strategies for dealing with issues of progressive disease, focusing on interpersonal support with family, friends, and colleagues. * Social and Economic Concerns - Day-to-Day Living. Deals with the limitations imposed by progressive disease on daily living, social activities, and employment. Packed with practical suggestions to help manage these limitations, including options for employment, health insurance, filing for disability, transportation, housing, and much more. * Coping with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Emphasizes education and counseling as tools to help the person with MS cope, self-manage, problem-solve, and plan as comfortably and effectively as possible. * Gender-Related Issues and Sexuality. Explores issues of special concern to women, issues of special concern to men, and issues of intimacy. * General Health and Wellness Issues. Covers a variety of general health issues, ranging from diet and nutrition to getting regular medical exams--areas sometimes neglected due to a focus on MS but that are crucial to living life to the fullest.

Review :
"...this book makes a significant contribution to its intended audience. It provides a framework for further investigation and discussion; one in which a family member, health care professional, or a person with MS can use as a starting point." -- Physical Therapy, Clare C. Bassile, PT, EdD, April 2002 "Meeting the Challenge of Progressive Multiple Sclerosis" lives up to the promise of its title. Dr Coyle and June Halper have created a concise, practical and useful overview of worsening MS and the dilemma faced when progression presents its challenges to patients and those who care about them. The language is straightforward and does not shy away from difficult topics yet always presents information with the reassurance of realistic hope...Both encouraging and informative, this book is a welcomed addition to the education areas of centers, resource rooms, patient libraries and professional offices. It's clarity makes it of value to the health care professional as well as the layman. The authors assert that "in facing worsening disease, people with MS must be empowered with tools for the transition...to help them adapt to change and remain functional and productive members of their families and the community" (P66). This thin book itself is such a tool." -- Dorothea Cassidy Pfohl, The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers 2002 "Six years ago I was diagnosed with secondary-progressive MS. Imagine my delight when this book crossed my desk! With anticipation, I began reading about the diagnosis and therapies of primary- and secondary progressive MS...The language is understandable, intelligent, friendly, enlightened, and enlightening. All aspects of health issues are addressed: mental, physical, emotional, and social. Coyle and Halper even discuss pregnancy, sex, housing, adaptive equipment, filing for benefits, insurance, and taxes! At the end of the book is a list of 18 great Web sites, followed by the best index I've ever encountered. This book is a "must have" for every person with primary- and secondary-progressive MS. Treat yourself to a copy. At 19.95 dollars, it's better than chocolate." -- InsideMS Fall 2001
