MS Explained
A new, revised version of MS Explained has just been published. MS Explained is written for anyone who wants to understand the mechanisms of MS and what is causing symptoms to happen. The Times called the first edition "arguably the best guide to the condition so far produced for lay people".
The book has been fully revised to take into account recent advances and now includes a section on future avenues of research.
Spasticity and spasms factsheet
The MS Trust has just published its latest factsheet. This looks at spasticity and spasms - what causes the symptoms and how they can be managed. The factsheet is based on the articles in the last two issues of Open Door.
