me with your changes if you want-to continue receiving this e-Newsletter.

2) Occasionally I write things, which I was told should be given a specific e-abbreviation

known as: "IMHO" -- meaning = In My Humble Opinion

So, in the future, if ever again I write something of my opinion, I will try to remember to

place the tag IMHO next to it.

Reader Comment / Request:

Hi Stuart,

My Name is Lisa. I love your news letter. I look forward to it's arrival and to the info I gather from it.

I was wondering though if you had heard anything about somthing called C105. It's was being tested for congnition difficulties. I saw an abstract on it somewhere and didn't print it out. Now I don't seem to find it anywhere else. So I was wondering if in your travels if you had heard anything about it.

Let me know. Keep up the good work. I appreciate it.

Thanks.

Lisa

and Stuart's reply:

Lisa,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Knowing that you can find most everything needing to be learned about MS, the first place you should always check, would be my Library of MS Archives --

With regards to your question of C105 for cognition, in the search box,

I typed: C105 and Ouila -- an article from Dec 2008 popped up...

In this link, is the most recent article on C105.

I hope you can find a way to stay warm.

Best Regards,

Stuart Schlossman
