I have a question in mind from long time ago, how is possible to a pregnant woman recover (during this period) most of her problems caused by MS if these problems are derived by a destruction in the myelin sheet? It has no big sense; if there is a hole, there is and how could it disappear? Is the sheet remielyneted during a short period and returned to the old status in few days?

HI everyone!

I'm new here, though not new to MS, and just introduced myself on another thread.

Has anyone been told their chest muscles are weak thus making breathing "seem" labored? My MS doc explains this sometimes happens to PwMS but is no real problem, it just "seems" like it is.

Hi!

Has anyone looked into the research by Dr. Denise Faustman and her colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) regarding their new approach to diabetes?

I first found out about it here: http://www.joinleenow.com/html/trials.php
