If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Hi Orch, it may be that Sandy is taking something besides prednisone, her MS is further advanced than Pam's but I'd have to say that Sandy has been doing pretty good for the last 10 years or so, she was diagnosed in the late 1980s, she was sitting at her desk and went blind in one eye, totally without warning and she was rushed to Houston and until the late 90s, she had an awful time with it! I came across a study, if memory serves me right, it was done by Princeton, anyway some grad students got the names of 1,000 people who'd had Mononucleosis when they were young, all of them were in their teens when they had it and this was 20 years later, those were the parameters the students chose, anyway, they asked them hundreds of questions and the results showed that a very high percentage of them had developed MS within the 20 years since they'd had Mono, I just thought that might be of interest to you....tomorrow is the big day!!

Good luck tomorrow! Do you have any idea yet how frequently you will take this drug?

Wow, Orch! I'm going to try to find that study, it's been awhile since I came across that, I don't even think the internet was around then!

Good luck. I have been taking Enbrel for 3 months. But I started the NSD 3 weeks ago and have been able to do O.K. without it. I am working through my NSD which has been a LSD (low starch diet) on the week-ends. Anyways, I hope it works.

Thanks Jorg...I love Enbrel, it did a world of good for me when I was on it and the benefits from it lasted a year after I quit was off it! Good luck with your NSD and LSD...
