Medical dictionaries tend to present information in a way that only a medical professional can understand. Here is some advice on finding information that laypeople (people who are not medical professionals) can understand. I will use multiple sclerosis (MS) as an example.
1. Look for websites devoted to patients and their support people. I googled multiple sclerosis society and got several good hits.
- National Multiple Sclerosis Society www.msandyou.org/
- The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) www.mymsaa.org/
2. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) website has very good subsites for most diseases. For example, when I searched for NIH and multiple sclerosis, I found a page about MS on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke website, http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/multiple_sclerosis/multiple_sclerosis.htm, which is not nearly as bad as it sounds. It gives a lot of technical information in a form that nontechnical people can understand.
I have posted this information on my Facebook page called English International
