Hopkins MS Education Series

[essdipity]

Tomorrow morning I'm going to a session called "Current and Emerging Treatments for MS." The subtitle is "What is in the Research Pipeline?"

I look forward to this, particularly since the speaker is Dr. Peter Calabresi, who is head of Hopkins' MS center and quite a well-known researcher. I know he won't be discussing CCSVI, since that's one of the topics in the next session, but for questions about current approaches and what's likely to come out soon, he's fair game.

Anyone with a specific question I can pass along?

I wish I could go. Where is it being held anyway? At Hopkins?

I'd consider aking him how he personally feels about diagnosing MS on clinical grounds with people who have a clean MRI, LP, EPs, etc. It  would be interesting to see what a Hopkins guy says thinks about this.  

Hope you have a good time and bring back info for us.

Hi there... are there any new treatments for SPMS and PPMS?  

Are there more people getting DX with these?

is it true that many people Dx with MS could have something other then MS but they just can't find the right answers, so they say MS?  I've had friends Dx with lets just say "Parkinsons" and 6 months later were told...no it's cancer not parkinsons

I've had a few friends ask me these questions?

looking forward to your update after this session.

thanks alot

I can't think of anything specific, but please give us the scoop on what you learn. I need to look into finding some conferences, seminars or something around my area.

Even if I don't get diagnosed, my sister is and it couldn't hurt me to be well educated.

Have fun
