Why the MS Register is so important to u

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...

Dom’s Covid Diary – Mon 4th May

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. ...

Dom’s Covid Diary – Sat 25th Apr

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...

Daily Briefing Covid-19 [Apr 20th '20]

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 – ...

Daily Briefing Covid-19 [16th April '20]

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.

Daily Briefing Covid-19 [15th April '20]

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.

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 ...

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...
