can these monkeys communicate? how do they FEEL about their illness?

do their human handlers have ms too?

what is their diet?

oh, everyone will want to get their paws on these monkeys.

Dr. Sclafani, if everyone could be so healthy as you, the whole world would be a happier place. Reading your posts helps me learn, gives me hope, and makes me laugh. Wishing you all the continued health and happiness. Thank you again for turning your life to people like us.

i wake up with blurry vision too. in the past i have had on a couple of times but not as much as iritis. i also have the deep pain inside the eyes, especially when i move them. and i have had double vision for years (always to the left, in a recent flare-up it also was when i looked up and right. ev...

then where is the place to share? there are many ms issues that are embraced and discussed, but others that are met with a thud. so if you are one of the people who experiences these issues and thoughts, where do you go?

please keep expressing yourself, if you want to, that is, if it helps at all.

call the ms society for the best advice. also make sure you have life insurance and long term disability before dx. i wish i'd gotten advice when it mattered. best of luck to you at a stressful time.

If more rooms were available at a lower rate I think there would be happy people. More important, I think if Dr. Sclafani took...

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond. You don't even know me but you took time to write. I think being alone is too much. No, not specifically alone, which can be a choice, but so isolated, so lonely, which is not a choice. i would not wish this on anyone.

For so long I have thought, is it worth having dreams that you know will never happen? Is an unrealistic dream better than dreamless sleep? But truthfully it really is just painful after so so so long and everything that a person can lose to keep on pretending that anything will ever be any differen...

Dr Sclafani, thank you for the brilliant case studies. You could write a whole book just from this thread. Can I ask why are arachnoid granulations nothing to treat? If they are a physical structure, it seems like they would have an impact on drainage and flow. How often do you see them? Do you ever...

Hi Dr. Sclafani. Thank you so much for offering yourself in this way.
