A great book about MS and how it impacts patients. Very informative. I will recommend to others. As a nurse practitioner who cares for many patients impacted by MS this book highlights some very important aspects of the disease and care provided.

I loved this very much! The characters, the actions and even the plot itself! Very inspiring for my own book too!

This is an excellent book for middle grade and up, to learn about what multiple sclerosis is and how the disease affects those who have it.

I wish this had existed when i was young, when my mother was diagnosed. Maybe she could have given it to me, instead of waiting to tell my anything about the diagnosis until i was an adult.

The Electrifying Story of Multiple Sclerosis by #Vanita Oelschlager is a very easy read. The book is very short.And when I requested it by mistake I forgot to look at the publish date.
Thank you,

A very clear explanation of what MS means. Currently, there are 2.3 million people in the world affected by this chronical sickness whose both causes and cures are unknown. Decades of research were able to offer some basic medical support, including drugs, that might diminish and delay some of the effects. The information delivered in the book is accurate and simple, with an equally informative illustration.

This book was an eye opener to MS, I work in the care sector and this book was very helpful and I learnt a lot from this book, that i didn't know beforehand .I would recommend this book

This is a very useful, well-explained and nicely illustrated book that does a very good job of explaining Multiple Sclerosis for an audience of all ages. A complex disease, Multiple Sclerosis is broken down here in a way that is very easy to understand and digest. For example, this book is the first time I ever had the origin of the term "Multiple Sclerosis" (aka many scars/lesions) explained to me in such a simple way, and the rest of the book followed suit with equally straightforward descriptions, with illustrations. This is a great book to give to a kid recently diagnosed, or to any family member who needs an introduction to multiple sclerosis. I really appreciated this book and would recommend it to anyone who has a friend or family member with multiple sclerosis, no matter what their age.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the authors for the advance copy of this book which helped me understand a complicated disease much better, in exchange for my honest review.

This is a very interesting and informative read. It is worthwhile reading if you are someone you know is on the MS journey.

This is a nice quick, easy to understand and informative book about MS. It's great for helping family members and friends to understand the disease. There are some statistics, such as the prevalence of MS, that need to be updated since the book was written. Thank you to NetGalley and Vanita Books for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Vivid presentation on the brain's and body's reactions to Multiple Sclerosis. With easy to understand terms and explanation The Electrifying Story of Multiple Sclerosis describes this condition in a dynamic way that would support the teachings in any science class, doctor's office, or patient support service. Job well done. 4-star. #JozefBookandBrew

"The Electrifying Story of Multiple Sclerosis" by Vanita Oelschlager is a good book for people to read if they have a family member or friend with Multiple Sclerosis . The book is easy to understand and is informative.

I have had Multiple Sclerosis for 12 years now and there are still friends/people that do not understand what's it like to live with something intangible, cant be seen, felt, or touched. Constantly I am told but you don’t look sick...

Because Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that someone will live with for years, or even decades, it is important for family and friends to understand what the person is going through and learn how to give support.

Multiple Sclerosis used to be feared because it was so unpredictable and doctors knew very little in how to treat it. Thanks to good research and great doctors, people can live with MS even though there is not a cure yet. The Electrifying Story of Multiple Sclerosis is written to help people understand what it feels like to have the disease and how to help.

This I requested and received an Advanced Readers copy from the publisher and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I have MS for twenty years now and there are still people that do not understand what's it like to live with something can can not be seen, felt, touched or heard. Close family and friends always get a better understanding of what might be like living with this disease, but outsiders have a hard time. This book is a helpful guide for people surrounding patients. It should be a must read if you have to deal with this type of silent diseases. f you have it, read it and buy it for your loved ones. If not, have a look because its always good to know whats going on.

This is a good book for family members or friends who have MS. The book is easy to understand and is informative.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks NetGalley!

informative book about the basics of living with MS. easy to read

Presented in layman's terms, the author went on to describe the impact MS has on our well being. This book was easy to read and packed with useful information. The great illustrations helped tie this awful disease into a neat little package of greater understanding. I highly recommend this book.

I send my thanks to NetGalley and Vanita Books for this digital edition in exchange for an unbiased review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.
A great informative book for those with no real knowledge of what MS is and how it affects people. It provides the basics and you don't have to have MD behind your name to understand.
I recommend it if you have been diagnosed with ME or know someone who has been, it's a great starting point for more complex information.

It's a good little book to learn basics about what is MS. I'm not sure who is it aimed for, as at times it feels like the author is talking to a child. As I've said - it gives you basic information, but it's enough to start from. The book is a bit repetitive, but maybe that's the point - to make readers remember. I very much liked section, where the book suggests ways in which you can try feeling like a person with MS. Those ideas are good and they will make you feel like people with other neuromuscular diseases, believe me.
Everything is great, but there's this:

As a daughter of an MS fighter for 35+ years, I found this book to be a wonderfully instructive part of understanding MS as the complicated disorder it is. Easy to read with wonderful illustrations, this text is a must have for those recently diagnosed and wondering what comes next as well as caregivers and family of those diagnosed with MS.

This short book provides very practical and useful information for those new to MS. Whether the person recently diagnosed or a family member, the book is presented in easilybinderstood text. I especially liked the examples provided for family members and care givers to have a better understanding of living I. The body of someone with MS.

Thank you NetGalley and VanitaBooks, LLC for this DRC.

This is a fantastic book to share with everyone who knows someone dealing with MS.
It's informative without being overwhelming and breaks down common terms, symptoms and treatments. This would be an easy way to help kids, teens and even adults learn what MS is and how it can affect their loved ones.
I do think kids under 10 years might need to have someone read this with them to answer any questions they may have as they go along.
I especially enjoyed the activities at the back of the book so readers can understand some of the struggles their loved ones deal with everyday.
