Hello friends --How's things??  I have had a bad cold for the last week.  But you know a cold is never JUST a cold - when you have MS.  UGH.  I've been riding the struggle bus - but I'm feeling stronger now.  FINALLY.  So - let's get after it!1.  I LOVE this comprehensive breakdown of the various insurance options available to MS'ers in the U.S.  You folks outside of the U.S. - no need to click on this link and confuse yourselves with this B.S.  You just go ahead and count your damned blessings that you don't deal with this crap!!  Health Insurance for MS (in the U.S.)2.  Do you get this bastard: Lhermitte's Sign?? Lhermitte’s sign is a short, intense sensation that feels similar to an electric shock passing down the neck and spine and radiating through the trunk and limbs. What a pain in the neck (see what I did there??)  Lhermitte's Sign 3.  Came across this nugget and found it interesting:  100+ key companies developing 100+ Multiple Sclerosis treatment therapies  -Pipeline Insights
