Hey everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm really enjoying receiving everyone's questions, I will get those answered before AAN is over. There are some really great questions coming in... a lot about Stem Cell, and BG-12...
Make sure you are keeping up to date with the videos being posted in the Conference Center: AAN section... We are uploading new videos everyday, and some of your questions might be covered in some of these videos, but I will still ask them.
Remember, you can ask questions as anonymous, no names will be given out during these questions and answers time period. I will ask any question about your MS that you have. Even the embarrassing ones. I do suffer from embarrassing symptoms, so I have no problem getting out there and getting the information that all of use suffering with MS need to know because we suffer from it, or need to know just for general knowledge.
I wanted to explain a little bit about the poster sessions that we've been interviewing at. If you didn't notice, these are all about research and clinical trials that are going on. So, just to let you know, there are posters among posters, that change day by day, of research being done for all those living with MS... about MS in general, MS and pregnancy, MS and medicines, MS and symptoms, so keep fighting this MonSter and know that there are people (doctors) out there that are dedicated to helping us.
So from what I've learned this year at AAN, is that you need to be very open with your Doctor about everything you are experiencing, don't sugar coat anything on how you are feeling at that moment.
Also, keep a journal of your symptoms, questions, and if you are experiencing any side-effects to any of your medications.
I've also heard that as people living with Multiple Sclerosis, we are the most educated patients that most neurologists have, because it's up to us to make a difference in the world of MS.
Well, I'm off to the meeting again, I'll do another update soon.
Kind Regards,
Ashley
