The MS Research Australia Brain Bank now has a Facebook Page! Please feel free to become a Fan of the MSRA Brain Bank Page to receive updates on our progress and upcoming events. Over 870 people with MS in Australia have expressed an interest in brain donation for MS research, and 340 of them have now completed the formal consent process.
I will try and list some info about Australians that either have MS or are involved with MS in some way, I guess they will be more so well known Australians, after all there is about 15,000 of us. I also have a section for MS People Profiles although not many seem to want to take up the offer of a free Profile page.

Please support the team, by taking part in the event or by donating any amount you can. More information will be added soon! After having a chat with Deanna (sneakypuss) OzMS has become a supporter of Deannas Team in the 24 hour Mega Swim.
I know there are lots of web applications eg. MSN and Yahoo stuff, but Google has it all, without all the in your face and eye candy stuff that makes pages load so slow. The Interface on most Google apps is simple and clean. Please consider Google as your friend, they have some great free features.
Suffering symptoms for seven years and getting nowhere with medical professionals I decided to turn a negative into a positive. For 7 years I have had many symptoms of MS and yet no GP or Specialist is prepared to commit to a diagnosis of MS. Knowing the inevitable is just around the corner I decided to do something to help others. I opted to take part in the Foundation 5 Million to raise much needed funds in order to find a cure for MS
Rebif is a disease-modifying drug (DMD) used to treat multiple sclerosis in cases of clinically isolated syndromes as well as relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and is similar to the interferon beta protein produced by the human body. It is co-marketed by EMD Serono and Pfizer in the US under an exception to the Orphan Drug Act. It was approved in Europe in 1998 and in the US in 2002 and is registered in more than 80 countries worldwide. Rebif is administered via subcutaneous injection three times per week, and can be stored at room temperature for up to 30 days.
We all will be in a position at some stage of having to live on less income due to the MS or other. Pension or not it is always good to be prepared for when or if it happens but also to have the tips and knowledge to know how to tackle the problem.

The MS Society has been campaigning for this but they really NEED US, the people with MS, to help strengthen the campaign by writing to our local politicians and putting pressure on them with our personal MS stories and how the heat affects us. The more of us who can get involved the quicker this will happen.
Without us and our personal stories it will fall on deaf ears as it's just the society lobbying for it without support from sufferers'. Together we can make it happen though!!
