Nicki Ward-Abel

Lecturer/practitioner in multiple sclerosis, University of Central England, Birmingham

Nicki has worked with people affected by MS for over 10 years and has a special interest in providing support for sexual difficulties. Her experience of dealing with these sensitive issues highlighted the need for a book for women that not only describes how MS affects sexuality but also offers positive and practical advice.
