MS and gut bacteria

Interesting article on the potential culpability of gut bacteria in causing MS: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1086404 The article notes that there are likely multiple factors that come together (genetic, environmental, disease exposure) though the twin studies minimise these.

Hot Showers

Hi, i feel like the new kid on the block, having only received my MS diagnosis a couple of months back and am waiting for my first infusion. I’m in NZ and we’re heading into winter so I’m grateful for the cooler weather, and how it reduces the symptoms. Speaking of which i am finding that having...
