PS Lyon - all you have to do is put a cross next to the name of the man you want to be your next President. They couldn't make it easier for you.

A 20 min video on emerging therapies. I'm too busy to watch it, but I think of all those single people with MS in cold climates with nothing else to do. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/582729 PS I'm a big US fan (holiday destination, muscle cars etc), but one export I cannot forgive is your wret...

I´m just wondering why ALL the media are full of the "news" (results have been available since 2006!) Looks like a well planned huge campaign all over the world (good work, Bayer!!) This is not correct. The 2 year results from the CAMMS 223 trial were reported in May 2007. This is the 3 y...

Ursual wrote I would be careful about taking Campath as first therapy (you probably won´t get it anyway..). There are severe side effects! In the trial were about 200 people getting Campath - e.g. 25 % got thyroid problems, 3 patients got severe bleeding disorders, 1 patient even died! The trial ha...

I think this is old news but it is today's date! Neurons Can Regrow! 27 October 2008 There’s evidence that the adult human brain has the ability to grow new neurons, say researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. The study included nine people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and a c...

BG-12 significantly reduced brain lesions in multiple sclerosis 24 October 2008 Biogen Idec announced the publication of Phase IIb data showing that a 240 mg three-times-daily dose of the company's novel oral compound, BG-12 (BG00012, dimethyl fumarate), reduced the number of new gadolinium enhanci...

Dignan,

This trial is in Canada. I've arranged for you and Jimmlegs to be in the hospital beds next to each other. You could hold hands while you receive your Irradication (and perhaps fall in love).

You more than any of us know the suffering and distress that MS can cause. And I am 100% with you on this one. It's difficult to reconcile end-stage MS (...

The European Charcot Foundation is holding its annual symposium next month which is focusing on gender. The programme is as follows: http://www.charcot-ms.eu/Programme-pages-id-199-sid-197-sid2-128.htm There have been several recent MS studies e.g. Denmark and France showing that MS is increasing am...

Terry, I'm afraid you'll never be welcome in my house. That picture is sick. How can you sleep at night? People like you are forcing good people like me off the board with pictures like that. In my simple world, clown = child molester, and your picture confirms my worst fears. Ian PS If you tell me ...

The Accelerated Cure Project has produced a note on last week's ECTRIMS / ACTRIMS / LACTRIMS MS research conference. Here is the section from the note on Campath (Alemtuzamab). Satellite Symposium -- Researching the Potential for a New Treatment Paradigm: Alemtuzumab in MS (Sponsored by Bayer Health...

I hate nothing more than clowns. But naked clowns raising money for MS is too much. I image that people like Lyon will buy this sort of thing. GWA is the August clown and, I must say, for a woman in her late 50s she looks pretty good. Harry Z is the March clown, but I skipped this page. The best com...

This was published on Wednesday and I'm hoping it will distract Lyon for a few days so that we can have some relief from his constant postings.
