I like Health Talk *******. It is not unlike this site in that it has several different health issues you can click on and also has a blog. There are live broadcasts once a month I think that have RSS feed. I have that podcast on my mp3 player. The broadcasts are available either by phone or online and you can submit questions to the panel ahead of time.
*The Precise Neurological Exam for NYU Students
This contains links that explains in depth the 7 areas that should be covered in a neurological exam. It explains how each test should be preformed, and it also shows after each test what problems could occur, and what part of the body's system they could be linked to.

*Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis
www.acceleratedcure.org:8080/stories/feed
The Accelerate Cure site also has a lot of interesting info. They are trying to fund research to understand the causes of MS in order make it easier to find a cure (after six years of idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, i.e. we're clueless as to what is causing your problem and there's nothing to be done about it that isn't completely random, this approach really appeals to me). The have what they call "cure map" documents at
www.acceleratedcure.org/curemap/docs.php
They talk about what is known about MS and genetics, nutrition, pathogens, toxic agents, and trauma, as well as their own research and development of "a large-scale collection of biological samples and data from people with multiple sclerosis, selected other demyelinating diseases, and unaffected controls" for use by researchers (if you live near one of the centers they're associated with you might want to participate in this).
Another worthwhile project (that is easier to participate in because all you have to do is fill out questionnaires) is the North American Research Committee On Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) Project (patient registry) at
www.mscare.org/cmsc/CMSC-NARCOMS-Information.html
Also on the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers website is their MRI for MS protocol which people ask about periodically: www.mscare.org/cmsc/images/pdf/MRIprotocol2003.pdf
