Description
'Living with Motor Neurone Disease' is designed to guide the reader through this complex progressive neurological condition that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means that messages gradually stop reaching the muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting. Motor Neurone Disease can affect the everyday things that we take for granted. A diagnosis of MND can be frightening and overwhelming. Good quality information and support from people who understand MND is vital at this time. This is a step-by-step guide for everyone which explains what MND is; how it is diagnosed; how it affects the individual and the family; the psychological dimensions of the condition; the caregiver experience; living with the condition and facing the future; how to talk to children and adolescents; how to tell family and friends; and, how to adapt working conditions and home life.
