Controversy ⚖️
Pre-symptomatic #MultipleSclerosis or radiologically isolated syndrome #RIS should be actively monitored and treated.

This is a superb post. I also struggle to understand why someone would fail to take the neurologist's advice. I guess @SmetsIde has put her finger on it when she suggests it may be a form of denial (my words).
MS is constantly vandalising our brains.

Are the Dutch also ready to embrace HSCT as a first line treatment? @MSwebNL @msvereniging @MS_Research @NationalMSFonds @ErasMS_Rdam @Hersenbank @MScentrum020 @GTCumcg @nvneuropsy @SmetsIde @JeroenJGGeurts @HannekeHulst @Eef111 @NIN_knaw
Great debate about #AHSCT for #MS first lineat #CONy2022. “Hematopoietic stem cell therapies (HSCT) should be offered as a first line DMT in selected MS patients: NO?” I am glad to report that I lost the debate. #neurologist are ready to embrace #AHSCT. @Boaz_Spermon @AANMember

A huge thanks to all the people with MS who helped us to design this leaflet for people with MS considering pregnancy buff.ly/3tB3xKb. You had told us you wanted a reliable leaflet to be able to look at outside of clinic appointments that you could read in your own time.

This paper makes me so sad (and angry). Women who are considering pregnancy are being offered less efficacious treatment because of their family plans, potentially leading to long term disability. This is happening now, in the 21st century.

All in all, there are reasons to conclude that vaccine passports for basic activities may actually undermine vaccine rollout by disincentivising the very populations who most need incentivising ow.ly/Bcu250EgaVx @ReicherStephen @ProfJohnDrury
