I’ve posted a few links to Prof G’s Selfies before now. I think all of the Selfies that I’ve read have been massively informative and useful.
The Selfie site and newsletters are designed to inform people, particularly the newly diagnosed, about their MS and what they need to know in order to manage their MS. It especially concentrates on disease modifying therapies which is why I’ve posted on the Newly Diagnosed section of our forum.
Individuals can subscribe to the newsletter for free, this means as Prof G posts a new Selfie you’ll get it in your email Inbox.
Otherwise you can just bookmark the site and access it as you like.
Professor G is a brilliant, world beating specialist in MS. He is responsible for the ‘Barts Blog’ (New to this blog? – The MS-Blog ) which tends to be more academic and sometimes more complicated to read.
The Selfies on the other hand, are written with us in mind, so are an easier read: MS-Selfie
A year on, the quality and quantity keep on coming.
Gavin has just got back from a fortnight’s family holiday and he’s in reflective mood. In Reflections: setting priorities for MS, he’s looking for guidance for where his remaining time would be best spent (he’s 58) for maximum benefit to the MS community.
It gives an insight into the current state of MS Research and care as well as his own mindset. He’s a remarkable man with a knack of deconstructing leading-edge research and making it comprehensible to us normal folk. He runs a subscription model and if you can afford it, I see the £80p.a. as well worth the insight into the inner workings of the MS “Industry”. I’ve certainly found his opinions very useful when challenging my MS Consultant: this is OUR disease, not the Doctors’ and our Neurologists and MS Nurses sometimes need to be reminded of that.
