Hello friends --Hope you all are doing well. I am fighting a cold/cough yuck whatever! But - this after sitting for 12 hours a day in a hospital progressive care unit for 9 days seems like I escaped what could have been much worse!Good news: my husband got out of the hospital. We're still in Florida until he get his staples (14!!) out and we're released to travel - next Wednesday. So - I am sending you the top 6 topics in MS for this week. Enjoy!1.  I JUST wrote a blog post talking about going through emergency surgery with my husband and yet still being able to work - from WHEREVER. That freedom is the basis for the upcoming Patients Getting Paid course and membership community. I talk about it here: 9 Days in the Hospital and I Didn't Miss a Day of Work!2.  People living close to major roads or highways are at a greater risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), a database study of people in metropolitan Vancouver reports.

Mind your own damned business!!!  You Can't Park There - You Don't Look Disabled!4.  And in the "no shit Sherlock" department: "Caring for children with multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect the mental health of their mothers over the long term, a study has found."  Mental Health of Women Affected by Caring for Children with MS5.  EyeStat, a portable device to measure blink reflex, has been cleared for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On the heels of promising results for assessing brain injury, the manufacturer, Blinktbi, plans to test if the device can be used for the early detection of the onset of neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS). In The Blink of an Eye6.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to allow Myeliviz, an imaging agent of myelin — the protective layer that covers nerve fibers and is damaged in multiple sclerosis (MS) — to be evaluated in a clinical trial with healthy volunteers.  Think about that: they could see if our meds are working and what stage we're in. This could be big: Imaging Myelin - Just Keep SMyelin!That's all folks. Hope you find this resource and the other resources from FUMS valuable.
