emerging therapies - great presentation on the web

when I couldn't log onto Medhelp tonight because of their maintenance needs, I went looking at some other sites that I regularly visit, figuring I could use some new information.

I came across a reference to the CanDoMS organzation on the MS Care website.  I was not familiar with them, so I spent some time on the website and I am really impressed with this group.

They just hosted their first webinar in July and it featured a neurologist addressing emerging therapies.  I spent 55 minutes listening to his presentation, and I would encourage all of you to do the same.  It was informative, entertaining and very fast moving.  He covers a ton of topics.

It is worth the time just to see his slide about neurologists and to hear him acknowledge that neuros are anal retentive, lack a sense of humor and often are not nice to their patients.  Wow!  An really honest appraisal of neurologists by a neurologist.

Anyway, the link to this webinar is

http://www.mscando.org/multiple-sclerosis-programs/webinar-series/

scroll down the page and you will see "archived" section and a link to Dr. Shapiro's talk.   I hope you will listen and come back herre and let us know if you agree that it is worth the time.

be well, Lulu

PS - the August webinar topic is Sprituality.  the details are also on the above webpage.

The latest MSQR came today - you get this magazine free when you complete the NARCOMS registry (which I hope you all have done!) - and it was crammed full of details on emerging therapies.  This seems to be the hot topic - there is a lot to be excited about.

They also highlighted some very interesting clinical trials taking place.

you can sign on at narcoms.org to get into the registry.

Bump!

Please take the time today or this weekend to listen to this program - it really will be worth you while to get a better understanding of all these new drugs and therapies - ampyra, oral DMDs and other stuff is covered in this talk.  I is well done and there are slides that go along with the talk to help you visualize the concepts presented.
