Well, I am hoping, and have posted hopes elsewhere that the crabmakers (Lyon, I like that one) will focus more on MS subset response.

If we add a t to the end of crab we get CRABT, which doesn't ...

This is interesting. I'm assuming, since they mention placebo, it is at least a single-blinded study. It looks like from a clinical perspective, nearly two thirds of Tysabri patients met the criteri ...

If anyone was wondering if there is a nice compilation of genetics and MS susceptibility on OMIM, yes there is. It is not as big as the Huntington's disease summary, but there is enough to keep us bu ...

Dom,

Hi Larry,

You mentioned physical therapy, and there have been some recent articles on the benefits of PT for MS at all stages. It's no cure, but if may help you hang on to what you have or even imp ...

I often wonder if conditions related to hormonal imbalances make some people more susceptible to MS. You had your problems at a young age, and ...

Hi goofygirl,

Welcome to the site. It is very interesting you have done well on Ovestin.

I was diagnosed 3.5 years ago and am close in age to you. Interesting, because the only prescription me ...
