Kesimpta, a DIY drug infusion.
In January I shared with you an article called ' A Breakthrough for MS' highlighting some positive results from some new research using mice. The scientists have now tested Kesimpta on humans with amazing results.  The trial results showed the drug more than halved the number of relapses. There are many sites with information on these trials and results. I have selected 3 for you to look at…

A Breakthrough for MS
BioNTech, who are the the German biotechnology company that brought us Pfizer to fight COVID,  now report that their findings  with the same technique as used for the virus,  has proved effective in treating and even stopping MS in lab mice.   As you can imagine, although this is in the very early stages and has only been tested on mice, it has brought hope to people around the world…

To tattoo or not?

Tattoos
In looking for any new research on MS to share with you I  came across articles about having tattoos.  The very latest research, published in October this year, poses the question on whether you should have tattoos or not if you have MS.  The reason is due to a tendency for people with MS to be heat intolerant. Below I have attached a couple of websites for you to look at, the second one is a…

Working with MS
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects everybody differently, and after you're diagnosed, you may worry about how your condition could affect your work life. MS should not stop you working, unless you want to of course, but you may find that your MS symptoms impact on your working life.  Many people affected by MS do continue working, sometimes for many years.  Eventually you may need to ask your…

Why David Attenborough ?
Well read on! We all know that eating healthy and nutritious food is an important part of feeling well for everyone. It is especially important for managing the symptoms of multiple Sclerosis (MS).  Your diet is an important tool when it comes to living well and coping with MS.  As I look back over articles in previous “Fact Fridays” it was back in November 2019 when I posted…

Have you recently been feeling anxious?
If you answered yes, you are not alone.  2020 has been a particularly difficult year for everyone, leaving people anxious about the future.  Stress levels have risen for many as a result, and anxiety is your body's natural response to stress. The trouble is, if you have MS then being anxious can make your symptoms worse. What can you do to help beat anxiety?  Thankfully we live on a…

Create new pathways
Today’s Friday Fact is something that truly fascinates me. Humans have the ability to rewire their brains!  The old saying of ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ has been surpassed by scientists proving yes you can.  So how do you create new pathways? Scientists say that doing things differently and repeatedly, is the way to create new neural pathways.  You could take up a new…

The University of the Third Age (U3A) is an international movement who believe that continuing to learn and develop your interests, make friends, and try something new is a life long passion and as a result is great for your mental health. U3A started as a movement in France in 1973. In the1980s, the movement reached the United Kingdom where it became a much more flexible organisation centred…

Can Mindfulness help us?
Ok so please don’t be put off by the title. I know this is a word banded about a lot these days but let’s look at what it actually means.  Basically, it involves becoming more aware of the present moment which can help us to enjoy the world around us more. Mindfulness is claimed to have a range of benefits such as a decrease in stress, treat heart disease, lower blood pressure, reduce…

Get fit to feel good
It is back in March 2019 that I last wrote about the benefits of exercise so I thought it was time to mention it again.  It seems even more important in these current and strange times the world finds itself in. The benefits of exercise include an increase in energy, helps relieve depression, helps with relaxation and sleep, good for both muscles and bones, increases interaction with other…
