 Post subject: MS portrayal on TV (totally trivial)
PostPosted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 8:51 pm 
Has anyone else been watching "The West Wing" lately? (It's on Wednesday nights on NBC)

One of the main characters, "President Bartlett" (the President of the USA, no less) has had RRMS for several years, and the MS aspect has recently become more central. The last few episodes have portrayed a pretty sudden transition from fairly stable RRMS to, as of last month, serious SPMS.

Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else has been ...

 Post subject: Different Types of Demyelination
PostPosted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 5:40 pm 
Now, this is interesting. I'm not sure if this has been posted here in detail before or not, but I believe we've all at one time or another speculated about it.

It is regarding demyelination occurring from totally different originations and pathogenesis, which would require totally different types of therapy. I think most of us believed that, but here is some actual detail!

Here is an excerpt from an article written by Drs. Claudia Lucchinetti ...

 Post subject: PPAR Agonists
PostPosted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 12:29 pm 
Ok.....this is a spin-off from the "Nerve Regeneration" thread I just started. I mentioned the commonality of PPARs in it.

I see now, that a researcher has found the same thing I was about to post (several abstracts), so I'll save time and just post his synopsis, which I retrieved from the NMSS website. He has been given a pretty large grant to proceed with his research. This sounds promising:

Hi, folks!

Just when I thought I had "read it all"! Here's something I ran across that I found interesting. Don't ask me who this gentleman is exactly , but s/he's from the Brain Research Institute at the University of Zurich (that's Switzerland, right? :wink: )

Anyway, it's pretty easy reading. For some reason, I found "something" in it interesting, and maybe with ...

 Post subject: Easier to read postings, how?
PostPosted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:17 pm 
Something I have seen mentioned on other forums:

Some MSers have trouble reading postings that have alot of sentences run together. Separating paragraphs like this is apparently a help.

I know I am especially guilty of running sentences and paragraphs together in some of my long posts.

Are there other suggestions you folks can give to make it easier to read posts? Perhaps some pointers on making posts more easy to follow.

Bigger fonts? There ...

 Post subject: MS and Relationships
PostPosted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 5:36 am 
Here's a subject that probably hasn't been discussed for while, if ever, here. Relationships with people with MS.

As we all know, it was eventually determined that I do NOT have MS. Yippee! BUT..........of course after all of this time and my intense involvement with MS, I have made several friends with MS.

I just had a doctor appointment with my PCP a couple of days ago, and we got into an interesting discussion regarding ...
