Thanks for the tip! I found it also in italian :)
the italian title is "Il cervello infinito", that something like "no end brain" or "endless brain" i think, really suggestive expression.

When I first saw the WII game that practices balance I thought of the "Brain Port" that you can read a previous thread at: http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-4882.html In particular the woman that regained her balance. And also those that have said YOGA has helped their balance. This system ...

Ciao, Chicca! Just responded to your wii question on the other thread- Wanted to mention that there is alot your boyfriend can do for his health with diet and supplements. Look into vitamins D and B-12, and read up on omega 3 oils and magnesium/zinc/calcium. An Italian mediterranean diet is good, w...

oh, siren. I don't know what to say... I mean, I think living with MS or another serious desease is really, really hard even when you don't have to think how to manage in paying for the cure. I can't imagine what it can be if you must put your own wage (my wage for example wouldn't be enough...), th...

hi. I read your problems with rebif and insurance and I got a bit curious about it. I live in Italy and here you don't have to pay to get rebif. If you have a MS diagnosis you can start rebif (or copaxone) therapy. If you start rebif you go to the hospital have have a visit with the neurologist who ...
