Phone interview with Scott Johnson of the Myelin Repair Foundation in a couple hours. You can listen via the internet or you can call and listen via phone. You can also ask questions.

Thanks Brian for the link, A bit disheartening to think that he doesn't expect anything concrete until at least 2016 but at least he has assembled a team to work out the "kinks" of the industry. Having the disease for 34 years and being able to do this is, in itself, a great incentive to me to keep going on those days when you just feel like giving up. Interesting conference, interesting concept and let's hope something truly comes of it.

2016? I was taking notes and wrote down 2014. Darn. It was encouraging to hear that after 34 yrs he is still walking. I was wondering, and as it was a phone interview, you couldn't see. So I'm glad he added that. I'm coming up on 19 yrs so hopefully I have similar disease course. Or at least time for his foundation to figure out how to patch me up.

Wow I am a newbie at only diagnosed 8 years but knew I had it 6 years prior. I did get on his website during the interview and he looks good. Interesting that he doesn't like the DMD's or CCSVI. Yes he is an inspiration as are you. Keep going Brian and I will try to follow.

That wasn't a great link - this one seems a bit better in describing what's happening.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
