| First, remember that this is a chat room, not a support group per se. Most people here are more than willing to help people with questions, but many of our friendships over time have become incredibly strong and go far beyond our shared interest in MS and related issues. So don't be surprised if everyone but you seems to know everyone else or if the topics being discussed in the room have nothing at all to do with MS...don't be concerned; jump in and ask whatever questions you have. Most, but not all, of the people here have MS and many know quite a bit about it; usually someone in the room will take the lead and offer information or a suggestion. Please use bold font and dark colors when you type in the chat room. Many with MS have vision problems and using bold type helps us see *you* more easily. If you don't get an answer, ask again. Please understand that it's inappropriate for even the best informed people here to answer medical questions. We're not doctors, and there is no substitute for a good doctor's care and advice. As you learn more about MS you'll probably become a little wary of anecdotal information, which may not always lead you to an accurate conclusion, particularly with something as unpredictable and uncertain as Multiple Sclerosis. We encourage you to read everything you can about MS, ask your neurologist questions, and take an active role in your health care. If you think you may have MS and you're not yet seeing a neurologist, ask your doctor for a referral; there's a link below that can help you find one in your area. Continued below |

About Us & Our Chat Room
| Welcome to the Multiple Sclerosis Chat Room! |
Pretty much any time of day or night you'll find nice people here. Every once in a while we get a
jerk or two, but we have a way better batting average than almost any other AOL chat room
on that front.
To come back again, save the room in your Favorite Places by clicking on the red
heart at the top right of the chat room screen.
The hard way is to click on People, then Find A Chat, click on the tab that says Rooms Created By
AOL Members, double click on Life, and scroll down until you find MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. Mostly
we're all here for the same reasons: information, support, and friendship.

Some Notes About the Chat Room!
MS Info
You may encounter a range of
statistics; while some may be
inflated it's also clear that many
people may have undiagnosed
MS. The most common estimates
suggest that there are over
450,000 people living with MS in
the United States and 2.5 million
worldwide. There are around
10,000 people diagnosed in the
US each year. And every day,
there are new people coming into
this chat room looking for
information.
Everyone here was that new
person once, and we understand
how it feels. So whether you've
had MS for years, or you have just
been told that it may be the cause
of your symptoms and have been
referred for testing, or perhaps you
came in because someone you
love or care about has or may
have MS, here's some information
that we hope is helpful. Because
especially at first, there are a lot
more questions than answers
about MS. You can click on the
embedded links in blue, or cut and
paste the web addresses shown
into your browser.

As with any chat room, we sometimes have people come in who are rude or disruptive.
Responding to them at all tends to encourage them. The first person to open the chat room
becomes the room "owner" and as such has control of an option called the "bolt" with the power to
EJECT snerts and harassers. However, if that person leaves without closing the room, then the
room is 'boltless'. At such times the use of the IGNORE feature on AOL is the best way to deal with
them: double click on the offensive person's screen name in the box on the right side of the chat
window, then click on the Ignore Member check box at the top of the selection window that opens.
When you close out of that window, you will no longer see anything that person types in the chat
room for the rest of that session on AOL or until you repeat the process and uncheck the box.

Two Final Thoughts
MS isn't the end of the world. Nor is it who we are. It's something we live with, and it's sometimes
important to remember that no matter what we have to deal with, there are many much worse off
than we.
There was a man who served as a mentor for me when I was younger. I asked him years later how
I could ever repay him for his help and inspiration. He simply smiled and said, "Do it for others."

Patient Advocates With Multiple
Sclerosis Fund Clinical Trial Of
Promising Drug That Has Already
Helped Thousands
13 Feb 2007
Over the last decade, anecdotal
reports suggested that a very low
dose of an FDA-approved drug
called naltrexone provides effective
symptom relief for many patients
who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis.
Frustrated by the lack of scientific
research, volunteers began raising
money to fund a human clinical trial
of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for
MS. This effort culminated in
awarding a $25,000 gift to the
University of California, San

'Benign' MS May Not Be So Benign
People who have multiple sclerosis
(MS) for 10 years and have few of the
disabling symptoms of the disease
are often told they have "benign MS"
and that their symptoms will likely
not ever occur to the same extent as
other people with MS. A new study,
published in the February 13, 2007,
issue of Neurology®, the scientific
journal of the American Academy of
Neurology, shows that unfortunately
this may not be correct.
After 20 years, the disease had
progressed in nearly half of those
whose MS was benign at 10 years,
according to the study.

Elan CFO: Tysabri could post
revenue over $300 million in 2007
Last Update: 9:01 AM ET Feb 20, 2007
DUBLIN (MarketWatch) -- Elan
Corp. PLC's (ELN) chief financial
officer said Tuesday that, based on
the current patient take-up, its
multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri
could make more than $300
million in 2007. Speaking on a
media conference call, Elan CFO
Shane Cooke emphasized that
this was a rough estimate rather
than an official company forecast,
adding that there are 400,000
patients on existing MS treatments
worldwide.
"Tysabri will be a blockbuster drug
and eclipse all competing
products over time provided the
safety profile is consistent ...
Revenue expectations depend on
how the patient take-up continues
during 2007," he said.
However, most analysts say $300
million is conservative. NCB
Stockbrokers, which has a buy on
Elan, forecasts $450 million
Tysabri revenue in 2007. Merrion,
which has a hold rating, predicts
$360 million. Cooke also said he
expects Elan's revenue - excluding
Tysabri - to exceed $500 million in
2007.
