Is Yellow fever vaccine safe for multiple sclerosis patients?
1. Yellow fever vaccine is recommended for people who are 9 months old or older and who are traveling to or living in areas at risk for yellow fever virus in Africa and South America.

2. There is a doubt whether yellow fever vaccine can be given to patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, who are using disease modifying immunotherapies. There is a concern that yellow fever vaccine can trigger a relapse of multiple sclerosis.

3. A recent study assessed the risk of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis worsening after yellow fever vaccine.
One-year annualized relapse rate and time to first relapse were similar among the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups.

It's probably worth people learning about Epstein-Barr virus (human herpes virus 4).
It's a virus that pretty much everyone gets, the one that causes glandular fever, also known as #mononucleosis. 🧵

It's worth talking about because it could easily be blown off as just a cold or a flu-like illness. Just like covid.
It infects white blood cells, lymphocytes, just like covid.
And it can cause a litany of acute and chronic medical problems, just like covid...

Poor sleep quality and sleeping <7 hours during adolescence can increase the risk of multiple sclerosis later in life
1. A recent case control study done at Sweden looked at the association between sleep duration (& quality) in teens and risk of multiple sclerosis in later life.
1. A recent case control study done at Sweden looked at the association between sleep duration (& quality) in teens and risk of multiple sclerosis in later life.
2. Compared with sleeping 7–9 hours/night during adolescence, short sleep (<7 hours/night) was associated with 40% increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS).
3. When patients rated their sleep quality during adolescence as poor, the risk of developing MS in later life increased by 50%.

Young woman who would lose eyesight in left eye each time she took hot water bath
1. 25-yr old woman consulted me with complaints of losing #vision in left eye after hot water bath. This had occurred 8 times in the past one month. Vision would get restored in a few hours on own.

2. Short-duration loss of #eye sight had occurred last Winter too, but she ignored them.
Last week, she was taken for an #ophthalmological examination after one such episode, and no abnormality was detected.

3. She requested her husband to take her for further expert medical opinion, which he refused.
But the woman was convinced that her symptoms were for real, as she had definite loss of vision in left eye after hot water bath.
So, here she was in my OPD, against her family's wish

2) There's nothing else I can cut back on. The cold makes my #MultipleSclerosis worse, but I'll have to ensure it. But because I'm on the wrong legacy #benefits I don't get energy assistance, so I'm stuck spending the equivalent of 2 weeks rent solely on energy.
3) How is this right in a supposedly civilised country? Why must we vulnerable & disabled suffer for the sake of shareholders profit? Who will call the energy companies to account? Not this #government for certain, but we infirm, disabled, & vulnerable just cannot live like this
Believers that #LongCovid is "all in your mind" because there are on specific biomarkers or routine diagnostic tests are "normal" need to look at other autoimmune/inflammatory disorders. In #MultipleSclerosis, or example, it took decades to refine the diagnostic criteria. 1/🧵
First, before MRI/CT scans were invented, many #MS pts were misdiagnosed with psych disorders, including hysteria. Spinal taps in MS patients did not always reveal abnormalities. Many patients had various non-specific white matter lesions in MRI, but some had few or none. 2/🧵
Some #MS pts had optic neuritis, but many did not. Some had a lesion in the cervical cord, and many did not. How do you make sense of it all? It took many years and several revisions to come with the diagnostic criteria that we use today to diagnose MS and MS variants. 3/🧵

Excited to share our new review out now in @eic_nic! The #network collapse in #MultipleSclerosis: An overview of novel concepts to address disease dynamics. With @BroedersTommy and @JeroenJGGeurts. @MScentrum020 @AmsNeuroscience doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl… | a thread 👇 (1/8)
In our previous review, we hypothesized that specific patterns of structural disconnection lead to less efficient network wiring. After passing a critical threshold of efficiency loss, the network “collapses” and clinical progression accelerates. See doi.org/10.3389/fneur.… (2/8)
In this review, we focus on novel network concepts and how these relate to the network collapse. As MS progresses, the structural network becomes overly segregated and disintegrated, both crucial aspects of normal networks. Functionally, integration seems largely preserved. (3/8)

@GlennYoungkin Dear Gov. Youngkin, I heard You want more restrictions on Cannabis. Also Hemp based Products congress.gov/bill/115th-con… I am 64, have extraordinary pain & misery from #MultipleSclerosis Arthritis. Have a Medical Cannabis Card and Zero access now. Rethink please 🙏🏼
I had a Medical Cannabis Card in Vermont, where I lived for 40 years. I had a convenient Cannabis Products store. Before we moved, I checked out Virginia. Was relieved I could get a card. Disappointed at lack of access for a Responsible Adult Retired Disabled Nurse. It hurts.
I turned to deltaextrax.com. I tried a few different products and found one that is particularly helpful in softening my pain and other symptoms of MS. I was relieved they were covered under Farm Bill because THC less than 0.3%. Works better for my symptoms than Cannabis.
@AaronBosterMD I understand your problem. I’m a totally adherent super responder to Copaxone-now generic daily Glatopa. I even had Young Whippersnapper Docs insult Dr. Hillel Panitch, my beloved First MS Doc who did CombiRx trial. traveloguefortheuniverse.blogspot.com/search?q=Panit…
