La sclérose en plaques : conseils de vie au quotidien

In France, more than 90,000 people suffer from multiple sclerosis, and 2,000 new cases are reported each year. The onset of this chronic disease in a family is often experienced as a trauma. It is a lifetime that will have to be rethought as the disease progresses.

The risk of disability associated with this disease has a psychological impact that requires specific care but also significant support from those around it. Especially since, while physical disability is well recognized, some symptoms are at the root of an "invisible disability", such as fatigue. And patients often complain of a feeling of misunderstanding in their surroundings.

This book therefore fills a gap by providing patients and their families, in clear and didactic language, with essential information to better understand the disease and its difficulties. Very accessible and enhanced with testimonies and practical advice, it will allow them to have a more realistic vision of the disease and its impact on daily life.
