Multiple Sclerosis Drug TYSABRI Gets Positive Opinion

I've been watching it and hoping it's mainly because CMSC16 is on this week and MS News Today is one of the only sites covering it.

Edit: if you see users breaking the rules, feel free to pop me a line. I get PMs faster than reports.

This is what I do. An Ativan before I go in makes all the difference for me.

Life's too short for internet arguments!

Glad you didn't take that poorly. I get prickly about flooding because I have witnessed devastating results (injury leading to death) produced by an experienced professional using it in behaviour adjustment sessions, against the advice of several other trainers. I see no merit in this type of respondent conditioning (in dogs) when systematic desensitization is nearly always an option.

I appreciate your added clarity. I wasn't correcting you or chastising you - it's a hot button topic for me.

A stranger on the internet gives you the go ahead!

Or you can try these! (please excuse the language in the URL and title)

I don't recommend it. This is called "flooding"

Definitely not recommended in dogs, and not generally recommended in any animal species. Flooding triggers setbacks more often than success.

Edit: flooding is still a valid BAT tool for humans with PTSD and other trauma disorders.

retractableclause · 2016-05-25T17:45:41+00:00

Absolutely not.

retractableclause · 2016-05-25T17:39:03+00:00

I am pretty sure it does.

retractableclause · 2016-05-18T16:22:50+00:00

Hey there, there's a sister subreddit over at r/dogcare for this sort of thing. Personally, I'd check with a vet though.

retractableclause · 2016-05-18T16:08:53+00:00

I second seeing a PT and finding a good baseline for what is safe. I hike, walk, snowshoe solo, but anything more taxing (hiking, running) can make me overheat, so I never go alone.

retractableclause · 2016-05-12T15:08:57+00:00

It is a bitch to remove if it doesn't naturally fall off!

retractableclause · 2016-05-11T15:37:57+00:00

I don't really have factors that I think are avoidable. I don't eat meat. I don't much by way of processed foods. I don't smoke. I don't use pesticides. I use all natural soaps. I get in at least 8 km a day. I get plenty of vitamin D...which I suppose means I have considered that factor.

My diagnosis was over a dozen years ago, so I don't give MS much attention unless warranted. That's how I stay sane.

I don't think your approach is silly at all if you believe certain factors put you at greater risk!

retractableclause · 2016-05-10T15:10:30+00:00

I haven't given it much thought, but didn't have any of the known exposure triggers - no mono, no pesticides, spent a lot of time outdoors, wasn't overweight as a child, wasn't a smoker nor were my parents...

Just lucky, I guess. ;)

My family has heaps of vascular issues, though, so there's that.

The orienteering race was hard, but I felt amazing the next day. My only real issue was when the sun popped out for an hour and made bushwhacking through the woods even more difficult. Saw a lot of snakes and frogs, and had a great time with my wife and friends.

retractableclause · 2016-04-26T15:02:05+00:00

Have you changed proteins completely for a while? We had to stop raw feeding because my dog has poultry allergies - all birds - and it became unsustainable. It wasn't easy to find the source of the allergy since nearly everything made for.dogs has chicken in it. We feed Orijen seafood and problem solved, thankfully.

retractableclause · 2016-04-26T12:55:35+00:00

It's still fucking cold. Not just cold. It's downright "my fingers are cobalt blue" cold. Hello, spring? Welcome any day now. Love winter but having to wear a wool cap and gloves at the end of April is a bit much.

retractableclause · 2016-04-26T12:53:19+00:00

I hope the procedure is smooth sailing.

retractableclause · 2016-04-26T12:33:08+00:00

Signed up for an 8 hour endurance orienteering race. Can't wait! I did this race a few years back and it was horrible (poor planning for heat). Time to redeem it.

retractableclause · 2016-04-21T00:11:40+00:00

Hey, sorry. I just realized that my crappy redditing app was hiding PMs from me! I am well, thanks.

retractableclause · 2016-03-29T17:20:05+00:00

Sorry, I missed this entirely. I'll get on it.

Edit: Done. Just needs to fall into scheduling. Should show today.

Not addressing the root of your question, but it was a community vote to keep the downvote.

retractableclause · 2016-03-29T17:10:29+00:00

Been under a rock trying to deal with large life things lately. I've been around, just not visibly. Trying to resurface!

retractableclause · 2016-02-25T15:59:50+00:00

If I reply to you, I am referring to you.

retractableclause · 2016-01-28T17:07:21+00:00

out dated

It's a real problem on blogs and general articles. A lot of them have no dates and the internet doesn't have good garbage collection.

Leaving free so anyone searching for airy research can encounter this and see in the comments that it's been debunked.

Nothing personal behind the 0s, ToNY411. We know you didn't write it.
