Multiple sclerosis is an incurable neurological disease of unknown cause with a fearful reputation for generating disability, unemployment, poverty and early death. This book critically surveys the current state of multiple sclerosis research, demonstrating the shortfall of current research undertaken on the lives of people with multiple sclerosis.
Paul Bull was a Geography Lecturer at Birkbeck College, University of London, UK. Progressive multiple sclerosis forced him into retirement in 1999. He has since been a volunteer for a number of charities, most recently as Chairman of the Colchester branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
