It's Christmas morning, and I was just watching "A Christmas Carol" for the zillionth time, the one with Reginald Owen playing 'Scrooge'.
I just learned, to my stunned disbelief, that I am three years older than Reginald Owen was when he made the movie 8O ! (I'm 54, he was a mere infant of 51.)
This reminds me of the birthday card my little brother gave me ...

Hi. This is my first post, although I've been listening in for a while.
I started taking minocycline in May 2004 after reading about the Metz & Yong study results in Canada. The minocycline resulted in some limited, but immediate improvements. When researching the reasons antibiotics had an effect I came across a link to David Wheldon's website about Chlamydia pneumoniae on thisisms.com.
I've been diagnosed with RRMS for over 20 years and had graduated ...

Hope you all have a Happy Christmas (sorry if this offends US users, but this 'Happy Holidays' thing doesn't do it for me. All religions have their special days so why should those who follow christianity shy away from naming religious festivals?).
This period is usually associated with hope for the future. Let's hope the new year brings some hope for ms sufferers. It might be useful if we could put together a ...

Hi,
When a nerve is demyelinated enough, the axon gets cut. Is this right? Is this what brain atrophy is, or is that something else? Is it possible for the axons to get cut without having brain atrophy?

Hi - I have been diagnosed with PPMS since 9/01 and I am partcipating in the Olympus Study: http://www.msstudy.net It is for PPMS. It is a double blind study measuring the safety and efficacy of rituximab compared with placebo in adult subjects with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS).
I have had 2 doses so far since 9/2004. The study will last 2.5 years. So far, I feel fine. I ...
