    John Connor started the topic Low Levels of APP Molecule Found in Patients With MS-related Fatigue in the forum Treatments and Trials 4 days, 13 hours ago

    With the summer upon us in the Northern hemisphere – we’ve already got an unseasonal heat wave here in the UK this week – this finding of ‘Low Levels of APP Molecule Found in Patients With MS-related Fatigue’ is, to my limited medical knowledge, the first time there may be a scientific explanation for this anchor to the majority of our lives…[Read more]

    Hi Katherine
    How u doing?
    As you’re a ‘newbie’ to MS know how overwhelming dealing with the mental side can be. Let alone the physical.
    Any questions I could help u with?
    Just another MS’er, but further along the journey.
    Cheers John

    John Connor started the topic The Problem of Medical Cannabis in the UK in the forum Treatments and Trials 1 week, 2 days ago

    In the UK even getting medicinal cannabis prescribed is a struggle. I wrote about this in one of my columns back in 2019. It was kicked off by a battling mother of a child with severe epilepsy. The only thing that worked was liquid marijuana which she bought legally in Holland and was eventually caught smuggling through customs. She had no choice…[Read more]

    John Connor started the topic Nature Podcast: The quest to prevent MS in the forum Treatments and Trials 1 week, 6 days ago

    Up until now, we here at Multiple Sclerosis News Today have published 83 articles about, or at least mentioning, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in connection to a possible cause of MS.
    Many of us find it difficult to take in complex written information. To be honest, even though this is part of my job as a moderator of this forum, I also feel…[Read more]

    It’s column plugging time again.

    This week it’s about meeting Chris in a coffee bar and him telling me about a therapy that I’d never heard of: ‘What sparked my interest was his story about how he ended up in bed for two years with a totally dead leg, and then restored it with some sort of electrical therapy. My right leg has been immobile for…[Read more]

    John Connor started the topic The Tricks of Intermittent Catheterization When You’re in a Wheelchair in the forum Living With MS 3 weeks, 5 days ago

    Yup, a plug for my latest column. The title is about the methodologies I’ve discovered to wear trousers that also allow me to pee using a catheter.

    If you also use a wheelchair and catheterize, how do you manage? Any tips?

    John Connor started the topic Small Trial of 24 Offers a Methodology for Tackling MS via Attacking EBV Virus, in the forum Treatments and Trials 1 month ago

    As usual, this story would be years off and hasn’t even been peer-reviewed yet. I’m reporting it cos I’ve spent 2 hours researching it – so there.

    There’s been oodles of science re EBCV & MS – we currently carry 82 stories about this on our home site.

    John Connor started the topic A Winning Belt Turns Into WrestleMania in the forum Living With MS 1 month ago

    How in a week, I managed to cut through bureaucracy and have a new safety device used. If I’d gone through the correct channels it would have taken ages. Mind you it would have saved me £90 – $117.

    Have got so used to circumnavigating the health system that I now just do it. What experiences have you had in this area?

    Except for relapses of course – where we all know these are life-changing. With me, I never got near to recovering to where I was.
    Two years away from my exercise class is a shocking reminder. My right arm now moves imperceptibly in the pattern class. Then I can no longer stand upright even in a proper powered standing frame!

      Right, let’s escape an MS topic & talk telly.

      Amazon Prime recently launched a series of ‘Reacher‘. Although I enjoyed the two Tom Cruise films – he is tiddly. The writer Lee Child did create him as a man mountain and this new streaming series has actually found one. The actor is Alan Ritchson who is likable, dryly funny, and a highly…[Read more]

      Once more into falling again – only these days I am managing to do it on four wheels, though in this case, I managed two. For a while!

      The purpose of being a Moderator on this Forum is to make sure no one is stepping/wheeling out of line and to promote discussion.

      So this is an easy one any plans this weekend?

      I’ve got none as my wife is away and my son is fitting me in around his work schedule. Luckily he’s working Front of House at a big theatre so I get to stay up late…[Read more]
