Notes:
1) If you should change your email address or move to another State or Country, please provide
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
p.s. -- Bookmark the link for the library of ms archives, for easier accessibility... to MS information

A Recent Comments left on the December 19th Tysabri Posting
Dear Stuart.I am happy for you that Rebif is working for you. Here in S.A. Tysabri is not ever mentioned. I have been having chemo treatment (novantrone) since July 2006 every 3 months.The scans show that this treatment is definately helping me. Unfortunately it is causing damage to my insides (i.e. my blood cells are all together, liver damage).I have been to see somebody who has put me onto some stuff to try rectify the damages caused by the chemo. Will be going to see her again 1 week after I have my next chemo. It wil be very interesting to see what damage is has caused.Keep well. Best wishes to you & your family for 2009. Kind regards Mary R.S.A.

Mary,If you want to know more about Tysabri, just click the link found on my blog or from my website.If the Novantrone is destroying your insides, than you should not be using this medication.. Tell your doctor to stop it and ask them to consider Tysabri.. IT IS so Much safer to use.....If you have any other questions for me, write directly to my email address or leave another posting here...Best Wishes for the coming Year.Sincerely,Stuart Schlossman -December 31, 2008 9:53 AM
