With well over 400 categorised links, I've had to split these
up onto several pages. So far I have rated and commented the links in the
Medical
Databases and Dictionaries, Sources of Medical Articles and the Immune
System section. I have commented the links in the Homepages
section but I don't intend to rate these. Click here
for an explanation of my rating system.
23rd November 2000: I am in the process of reorganising
the links into a more coherent structure.
-
MS Homepages
-
Don't underrate the quality of these pages just because they are not professional
sites. These are pages done by people with MS and, just because of that,
they are pages that confer a unique understanding of the disease and what
it takes to come to terms with it. Often they will tell you exactly what
you want to know or just cheer you up when you're feeling a little blue.
-
-
Support Organisations
-
These are links to sites dedicated to providing support for people with
MS. A lot of them are professional organisations or charities (such as
Multiple Sclerosis Societies).
-
-
Forums and Chat Pages
-
A list of forums, message boards and chat sites where you can talk to other
people with MS. You don't have feel alone any more - get talking!
-
-
Understanding MS
-
These are sites which explain multiple sclerosis from a medical standpoint
- it's etiology and pathology. The sites very from basic introductions
to quite advanced.
-
-
MS Symptoms
-
These links go into the specific symptoms of the disease, how they are
caused, their treatment and how to deal with them.
-
-
General Medical
-
These links are to both commercial and not-for-profit general medical sites.
They are medically accurate and educational.
-
-
Research and Trials
-
These are links to research and trial sites and contain pointers to what
new research is digging up plus the qualification criteria to get onto
the trials.
-
-
Drugs
-
Here are some pages about drugs used to treat MS, the effect of vaccinations
etc. Some of these pages belong to drug companies so beware!
-
-
Medical and Drug Databases
and Dictionaries
-
These are lookup pages for medical terms, drugs etc.
-
-
MS Glossaries
-
This is a collection of links to MS specific glossaries. I've sepearted
this from the Medical Databases and Dictionaries section above because
it was getting too big.
-
-
Sources of Medical
Articles
-
These sites allow you to search for professional medical articles run by
such organisations as the NIH, the BMA etc. By and large, these sites are
intended for medical professionals but don't let that put you off -
with some basic medical knowledge, you can get a lot from these sites.
-
-
Immune System
-
These links can be used to get an understanding of how the immune system
works especially in relation to autoimmune diseases in general and MS in
particular.
-
-
Neurology
-
These links can be used to find out about how the Central Nervous System
(CNS) works. They'll tell you about which nerves join in to which areas
of the brain. Since MS is a disease of the CNS, you really need an understanding
of basic neurology in order to understand what MS does and how it appears
to do it.
-
-
News and Other
-
These are pages concerning MS news or other issues that didn't appear to
fit elsewhere.
-
-
Other Links Pages
-
Here are some other link pages if you feel that there aren't enough links
here to satisfy you.
-
-
Practical
-
A few sites that discuss some of the more practical issues such as disability
benefits and the like. This section most definitely needs expansion.
-
-
Alterative Therapies
-
These pages deal with alternative treatments for MS. This section also
needs expansion.
