A fellow MS sufferer has created a list of links to MS Blogs.  She is attempting to locate 100 MS blogs.  I wanted to link back to her post to see if her list might help any of you!  Enjoy!

Her blog post is located here:  http://brain-cheese.blogspot.com/2007/10/looking-for-100-ms-blogs.html

Is a new drug called Plavitron in testing in the UK?  Absolutely not! 

According to an article that was posted in the Daily Mail newspaper in the UK, there is a popular show in the UK called The Bill.  On this show, they made up a drug called Plavitron that was supposedly in testing to alleviate the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.  As a result of that, the MS Society in the UK has fielded numerous calls looking for information about this "new drug" that is in testing.  Unfortunately, there is no such drug.  It's just television fiction.

As for my opinion, I have to side with the MS Society's position that it was irresponsible for the show to make up a drug like that.  Multiple Sclerosis is a serious matter for all of us who suffer from MS.  The producers of The Bill could have at least referred to a REAL drug that is in trials.  This kind of thing is just irresponsible.  It gets the hopes up for people who have MS.

Anyway, the article I'm referring to is here on the Daily Mail website.

What do you think?  Is this irresponsible?

I thought this would be well worth posting for those who might be new to Multiple Sclerosis.  I've been through Avonex, Copaxone and currently on Rebif.  I ran across this video that Kelli kindly made and posted on YouTube.  It shows her walking you through the process of doing a Rebif injection using the Rebiject autoinjector. 

Hopefully, this will be of benefit to some of you!
