Hi lovely people Any of you self isolating or any of you suffering with the Covid19 virus? How are you coping? My MS is kicking off, I think due to anxiety.. Anyone else feeling the same? Many thanks Kindest regards Birdi

Hi all, - If you take ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) , as I do, and want to participate in a vaccine trial then have a read of this post on the Barts MS blog and get in touch with them via the blog. - https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2020/06/mscovid19-covax-or-coronavirus-ocrelizumab-vaccination-study...

I have a conflict of interest to declare: I am on the UK MS Register committee. - The MS Register here struggles to get more sign-ups. Everything you share is to further the cause of MS research. Your data is secured properly and never ever shared, outside of the anonymised research data. - The Fre...

He says, "I am interested to know if any of you who have COVID-19 are suffering from a persistent loss of smell and taste and how has it affected your life?

HI, I have just written a piece on MS and assistance dogs on the Barts blog- and how they help hundreds of people with MS lead independent lives:https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2020/05/mscovid19-dogs-are-being-trained-to-sniff-out-covid-19/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign...

11:50h so a bit late to say rise and shine. Covid lockdown = chores. Mrs S works from the dining table so every time I pass by I realise I am under her gimlet eye and try to do something worthy. I just cleaned the cooker top and hood after the bread was put in to bake. Self-imposed tidying anxiety. ...

https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2020/04/mscovid19-pulse-oximetry/ - "If you are single I suggest going to extraordinary lengths to protect yourself if you have to self-isolate with COVID-19. You may have heard about the tragic death of a young surgical trainee who died alone at home from ...

Testing and vaccines and other things you may like. - Hi there. In a slight change to the daily updates – a self-imposed burden so no sympathy for me – I have settled on an occasional Covid-19 diary. This helps me as much as you as I now have a way to channel the instant sharing urge as I continuous...

Afternoon all, - Not sure when I ought to drop the Covid-19 tag from the headline. I think it should last as long the lockdown lasts. We see the conversation subtly changing now to more of the looking ahead. You can’t panic forever. ------ MS Stuff ------ I still see people asking about the risks – ...

Hej (Swedish today), - The Donald seems to think that nature understands the greatness of the US and has sped up the Covid-19 development there as a result. Apparently they are flattening the curve faster than anyone else and get back to normal pretty sharpish. He is an extraordinarily strange man....

Morning All, - Such a gorgeous day. Mrs S and I were out walking alongside the river just before 0700. A frost but the lovely sun. C was wrapped up, I was in shorts as my summer dress sense is driven by my inner-Canadian. 7.5km as halfway to the planned turning point we looked at one another and si...

Howdy (in the words of the inimitable Aaron Boster), - I watch my young neighbour go to and fro in their car and I can't help but wonder. The rational side of my brain tells me he must be doing something essential. Doesn't wear gloves.... Then he and his girlfriend appeared all dressed up a few even...

Nǐ hǎo, - I am waiting for this sudden mist to burn off so I can do my walk in better visibility. In other news, my bread is getting better. Incrementally. After 3 weeks of living in one another's pockets, Mrs S and I have been rather techy with one another this morning. To be expected. Imagine our ...

Здравствуйте (Zdravstvuyte), - Odd how there seems to be little mention of Covid-19 in Russia. It isn't known for information transparency and apparently there are c. 2800 cases in a massive country. Seems reliable info is hard to come by. ------- MS News ------- We interviewed Prog G today on his ...

Ola, - You may have spotted that I completely forgot to do this today. Apologies. ------ MS Stuff that caught my eye. Quite a interesting post from Prof David Baker about whether or not a DMT may be a good thing to be on if you catch (you will) Covid-19. All theoretical and he tries to unpack the th...
