The Changing Faces of MS and Parkinson's

[doublevision1]

I don't know if anyone already posted about this.  I noticed this conference was held at Northwestern on Nov 5-6.  The target audience appears to be MS specialists and researchers, though I just emailed the coordinator to see if any materials are available to the public for purchase.  If so I will let you all know for those who are interested.

The topics look very interesting and touch on many things we discuss here.  I'm particularly interested in the ones on the use of MRI and MS biomarkers in clinical practice to make treatment decisions.

Wow, that speaks volumes to the good info you people bring to the forum and share.  I intend to scan over those files.  

I absolutely believe that this is the best forum on the net.  People's info here is grounded in science, tempered with deep compassion.

I read a few years back, from some media article about neurologists and the internet, that people with MS are routinely the best informed about their disease.  that is both a challenge and an aid to our neuros.

I actually downloaded this to my iPhone.  I can take my time reading it, but I haven't heard/read anything new that we don't already know.  Ah, well...
