This a...Good old Will Rogers, he was one smart guy. This all touches on what I often complain about when MS DX, stages, etc., get tossed around for doctors and patients to make decisions from. The medical community is still so in the dark about our brains and how they work. Maybe 50 years away from seeing the light of our complexities. And since the brain is ever changing...it is also "Doctor heal thyself" we want brains to figure out why they are sick. Paradox. There is also the idea put in our brain by doctors that our course will be or is something---self-fulfilling prophecy can occur. I think in 100 years society will laugh at all we thought about MS. And, of course, our brains.Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-89102623366556075372010-02-08T19:49:24.558-05:002010-02-08T19:49:24.558-05:00Thanks for interpreting this article.I am in a stu...Thanks for interpreting this article.I am in a study and have had mostly silent brain spots for many years before dye showed a hot one. Still I think the study meds I am on (no placebos anymore), help make the exacerbations not so deep nor frequent. I am 50 when I started so they are studying those like me too. I believe I have had for at least 30 years. The new MRI techniques and careful MD listening also contribute to the scientific more accurate diagnosis.I have no doubt as to treating once you know.Thanks for writing this.Travelogue for the Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127086480471321349noreply@blogger.com
