Re: Heavy legs

I was diagnosed in 1999 RR, and between that time and the fall of 2010 (SP by then) I had three separate instances, where after sitting straight up, with feet on the floor (at theatre) I arose to have a nearer normal gait (my right leg being the problem, heavy and uncooperative) ...but that ability ...

DrS ...should all of your patients begin taking the low dose aspirin immediately following our procedures, as I confess that Gene and I both thought the use was to commence following Arixtra as well.

Appointment Notice?

Holly, I happened upon Dr. Sclafani's post on the American Thanksgiving Day that he was recommencing practice and immediately sent a request for a "date" with him! A couple of weeks later I applied to AAC as well. (as Chicago is closer) Is this "way too soon" to expect a reply fo...

I have always thought it was "just me". But perhaps the super hearing issue makes sense. Even when I was a child, I would try to use a pillow to block noise, so I could get to sleep at night. A dripping tap at night will drive me to get up and shut if off, even though my husband and boys c...

Dr. Sclafani, may I inquire as to who may be on you invite list? Not by name but generally speaking. I am also curious to know if your invitations are being extended to other countries, and especially your neighbouring Canadian Neurologists/IRAs/VSs? Or is this a specific "think tank"? And...
