Dom’s Covid Diary (Sat May 9th)

I hope y'all are doing well. I am getting Covid-19 overload. Having subscribed to various MS and non-Ms video channels, scientific blogs, and have been present at countless webinars I am thoroughly sheep-dipped in it. Some medical, some patient. There are probably a few key messages to take away fr...

Daily Briefing Covid-19 [20th Mar 2020]

Morning folks, - Another day of splendid isolation in Shadbolt Towers awaits. Thankfully, I have the enforced long-term company of the delightfully cheerful (so far) Mrs Shadbolt. - This update will be more MS and less of me making sideswipes at the Buffoon and the Orange Genius. I think we all r...

This is a very cool website for MSers

MS-Selfie does not do what Shift does. It is like the UK version of Aaron Boster's Youtube channel - also excellent but a US focused resource- and there aren't videos. It is the opinion of one UK neurologist, albeit a well-respected one. It is Dr speak made understandable with no endless streams of...

Ocrelizumab - from Prof Giovannoni

Not the only drug, but one of the best available. << Systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing ocrelizumab with other treatments for relapsing multiple sclerosis. Not quite top dog, but clearly in the upper tier. #ClinicSpeak https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30677733?dopt=...

The 5:2 diet to help with MS

@purl2, I thought I would start a new conversation on this. The 5:2 diet is a very simple idea - you eat normally 5 days each week and restrict your calorie intact to 500 cals (for a woman, I think a bit more for a man). The 5:2 diet is a big thing in the UK - lots of my friends are on it or have ...

Brain health guide for people with MS

This is a guide to brain health for people with MS. I'm not sure how different it is from the guide I already posted a link to, but I thought I'd put the link on for completeness. It's here: http://multiple-sclerosis-research.blogspot.com/2016/08/brainhealth-clinicspeak-brain-health.html

Important info to show your neurologist

Those lovely MS doctors at Barts have just posted a couple of downloadable resources for PWMS, talking about how important it is to treat MS early and monitor whether the treatment is keeping MS at bay. They suggest that people with less proactive neurologists might want to take these resources in ...

Progression/Transition Treatment?

Hi All, Check out Dr Ben Turners talk featured on*, he's refreshingly honest about how hard it is to spot the transition from RRMS to SPMS; he talks about active MRI lesions too, which some PPMSers can get (see below). PRMS is about to be redefined out of existence, but that probably means they ca...
