This week it is MS awareness week in the United Kingdom
Are you over 18, living in the UK , with a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis? (Sorry if you are not UK based, as part of my awareness we I will write to NARCOSMS in the USA, so see if they can do the same thing) Then you need to take part in this ground breaking study (Click here)
Once you have completed the registration form you will find a series of questionnaires please complete them, notably
What’s in a Name.
Scientists and Neuros and health care professionals write papers every day and you are increasingly getting to see them with open source information. It is interesting how they refer to you in these papers and grants. Maybe it is time you said what you prefer.
What’s In Name?
We have asked this before and now I am asking this again. Why?
We get trolls that try to damage our professional reputations
and in doing this hasten the end of this Blog.
So I would ask you to consider helping us and
consider signing up to the MS Register
to help me respond to the Trolls

The MS Register is a ground-breaking study designed to increase our understanding of living with MS in the UK.

Have you got a hangover MD? Are you out canvassing for UKIP? You keep posting the same item! When you around Prof G's home tonight watching Antiques Roadshow please can the two of you get your heads together and give us a decent post. We have a lot to celebrate – new princess, bank holiday and, hopefully, a Tory / UKIP coalition at the end of the week. Cheer us up more with that rare thing – a good news post. Enjoy your bank holiday – feed the mice before you head off tonight.
No hang over and not sure what you mean by canvassing for UKIP….I would say not if UKIP is the question,but each to their own come 2017 you can have your say if the the Government remains in power. Yes it has been the same post over the week to remind anyone who can do my survey to do my survey. As for me I will spend abit of time later today doing some posts..it has been rather a busy week and have been getting as much sleep or less, as Mrs T used to have so notmuch time for the blog..sorry.
As to your hope for the end of the week let the British and the Irish people (isn't it strange that nationals of another country can vote:-) decide………..be careful for what you wish for because NHS rationing of "expensive drugs" is coming our way but I suspect it is another cross-party stitch up. As for good news it doesn't take long for the heady heights of last week to be forgotten.
and this is the last day I will post it
"……………..hopefully, a Tory / UKIP coalition at the end of the week."
I hope that's satirical.
