This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi, I just wanted to add how when I was working we would deal with statistics everyday. There were two concepts which were repeated frequently when discussing results comparing one product vs. another. One idea was how you need to test "apples-to-apples". Otherwise you will have less confi...

I have brown hair and brown eyes.

No freckles; just one beauty mark which now blends in with my age spots.

My parents were both from India, i.e. brown hair/brown eyes. However, I did have a maternal aunt named Ruby. I think she was named Ruby for her red hair.

If I've understood the article correctly, this technique inhibits the formation of scar tissue, but I can't see any mention of dissolving old, preexisting sclerosis. Maybe I just can't see the screen properly because my wrinkled, haggard skin is sagging down over my eyes! I do seem to remember ment...

I found this update yesterday.

This is all so very frustrating! I keep going back to one the definitive examples of non-pragmatic thinking: Dolly is an elephant. Dolly is pink. Therefore, all elephants are pink. Personally, for the causative agent of MS, I revert back to the ol' San Fransisco Sour Dough bread obstacle. That is to...

Total waste of money in my books. This research is only one step above seeing how fast an EAE mouse can run. gwa Blake, Yes, I did notice how polite you made your statements and yes I do agree there are many unscrupulous people trying to sell snake oil and such. But if you ask me for my opinion (an...

PS I'm so pleased the word " wanker" has crossed the Atlantic. I hope you get as much use out of it as I do. Hey! I thought David St. Hubbins used that word when he was talking to Nigel and Derek. ...Wanker...he is such a wanker...the audience was still booing him when we took the stage...

Dear Robbie,

Please start by Google-ing "The Golden Rule".


Thank you.

"Interferons (Avonex/Rebif) do not cause depression nor induce anxiety". If I remember correctly, this is what the drug manufactures told neurologists about ten years ago. Today the opposite is being said. Yes, they do make you depressed. Here's my experience: I initially got that same fru...

Sometimes I really wish that people who make statements like the one quoted above would spend some time taking a few biology courses before they go off on their crusades. But then, enough ranting for now. NHE When I was in college I took a whole mess of biology courses. It was kind of required as m...

Just so you know, Rush University is downtown. They have a MS department with two semi well known MS neurologists. But the lady who answers the phone is an idiot. The last time we were there my husband over heard her talking about Dunkin' Donuts "new" product line called "Munch-i-kins...

This page has a video of Biogen's explanation of how it works.

Thank you for the video. I find that part of this thread really helpful...

NHE...I work in medicine and have to the Micomedex here at work...which has all of the information that you mentioned as being in the "secret compartments." That information has been a god send to me...as I've just been diving into the internet and library here at work trying to learn as ...

Hi, Am I just too dizzy and therefor can't figure this out for myself? Or do I just have the wrong idea? I thought Tysabri worked by being a monoclonal antibody that only attaches to MRTC's rendering them denatured so the T cells won't attack myelin. If that is how it works for MS, then why is Bioge...
