Nasa is not the only reputable authority on the existence of Xenomorph’s John, I’m sure there would be some readers of this column who could vouch for them. Unfortunately.

You certainly do need to do your homework John. When I was in hospital being nuked, radiation therapy, a doctor arrogantly, without informing me let alone discussing it, changed my prescription from Mirabegron to Oxybutynin. I had been using this previously but found I couldn’t tolerate it so we had a verbal altercation in the 4 bed ward which was…[Read more]

Some people will do anything to get attention. You young people these days. I don’t know how you live with yourself John, disgraceful!

I am still able to walk, with the aid of a Hip Flexion Assist Device, although staggering around like a drunken orangutan, frightening people, would be a better description for it. I do fall over a couple of times…[Read more]

I’d be it it too John. It does sound like fun and if it also might be of some benefit why not?

Thanks John. I keep pretty well up to date with it but a lot of people do seem to struggle. Have a good one.

Sounds interesting Ed. Often medico’s will only recomend one of their favorites or they are not up with what treatments are available.

It’s really unfortunate that so meny people feel they need to hide their MS. The more people who do speak up about it the more recogition it gets in the wider community and the more understanding is developed. Being thought to be drunk is not nice and causes problems. When i got a HFAD one of the bennefits of it was that people no longer assumed…[Read more]

It’s still a commendable enterprize John. Finding information about MS and its effects, treatments and consequences can be difficult for a lot of people.

Same here John. I tried Modafinil but it does nothing for me. Have a good one.

I have lived for 12 years wwwith PPMS, only because there are no DMT’s available for PPMS here in Australia, appart from Ocrevus which costs over $35,000/year here so it is out of reach. I also now have tonsular SCC, stage 4, and my last CT scan showed the metastatic tumors in my lungs have shrunk over the last 3 months. I am not on any treatment…[Read more]

G’day All,

Apparently Santa struggles a bit here in Australia because of the heat and his <span style=””>inappropriate</span> clothing. I’m sure these will be exacerbated by MS. The poor old bastard. There are, however, some good cooling vests available now though. I have found a way to add another convincing argument when dealing with sceptical…[Read more]

G’day, I use a Hip Flexion Assist Device HFAD made by Becker Orthopedics. It is the best invention since canned beer. I did have to modify it because I have a lot of lower back pain but now it’s great. Also have a look at these for a scooter/wheel chair. They are made in New Zealand and are made to order so it takes about 6 months to get one so…[Read more]

G’day, I am in Australia so summer is coming and looking forward to 40+ degree Celcius temps, NOT. The best cooling vest I have found is

Phase change ones, frozen cooling packs that melt while using, are the most effective and water ice is more effective than…[Read more]

G’day Alicia, There are very few examples of any technology that can’t be improved on, particularly when all the users have differing requirements. They haven’t made the perfect car yet….
