If rapamycin works in MS does it mean the T-reg hypothesis is back on the table? I suspect not. #ResearchSpeak https://t.co/owe3tSaUeU pic.twitter.com/tb6ODTluWn— Gavin Giovannoni (@GavinGiovannoni) September 18, 2018

An interesting observation that photophobia (exposure to bright light is uncomfortable) is quite common in MSers. This is my personal observation as well. I have several patients who can’t tolerate fluorescent light ad wear sunglasses. #ClinicSpak https://t.co/5YNkBZTyPg pic.twitter.com/ysnlRgRze8— Gavin Giovannoni (@GavinGiovannoni) September 19, 2018

MSers on DMF (Tecfidera) need to remain vigilant about opportunistic or other infections. DMF is an immunosuppressive drug. #ClinicSpeak Herpes simplex virus encephalitis temporally associated with dimethyl fumarate-induced lymphopenia in a MS patient. https://t.co/IWogMmz72i pic.twitter.com/VsMocTmEaM— Gavin Giovannoni (@GavinGiovannoni) September 20, 2018

A fascinating case of Zika virus CNS infection in an MSer.

Did you know that there is a naturally occurring change in the MS Walking Scale-12 scores over time in MSers? Are you surprised? MS is a progressive disease and causes worsening disability.

Do you really think ablating CNS lymphatics is a realistic treatment option for MS? #ResearchSpeak CNS lymphatic drainage and neuroinflammation are regulated by meningeal lymphatic vasculature. https://t.co/f9mk5KwOj8 pic.twitter.com/vlJByg3LoB— Gavin Giovannoni (@GavinGiovannoni) September 20, 2018

Wow! A very depressing paper showing how sensitive MSers are to the costs of DMTs in the US. In socialist healthcare systems this does not happen. #PoliticalSpeal Cost Sharing of DMTs as Policy Lever to Improve DMTs’ Access in MS https://t.co/0DF2CgTnea pic.twitter.com/Y4pJqJvVqq— Gavin Giovannoni (@GavinGiovannoni) September 21, 2018

Liver injury with drugs used to treat MS data from the FDA adverse event reporting system. Interesting that alemtuzumab is singled out amongst the monoclonals.

These are great. I will now be following you on Twitter as well.
I for one do not see how much time is saved by tweeting when u can do a weekly summary. Copy and paste! Or have the detractors become such nuisance barts team feel relactant to post here? MD exception of course.
A short summary is about as much as I can take; twitter wins over wordy and rambling blog posts.
A twitter comment takes minutes, a blog post can take an hour or more. So yes, twitter saves time and is easier for me.
Where is the twitter side banner from the site? Is it just me who doesnt see it anymore?
"Where is the twitter side banner from the site?"It gets in the way of scrolling alot..can it locatepermanently on the side or below Recent Comments section.
Prefer the blog over Twitter, so I can be anonymous. Re. the photophobia observation. I tried bright light therapy to see if it would help with fatigue. I left it on too long, and developed severe pain in my face later that day. I called the neurologist and eventually figured out this was likely linked because there are a few reports of bright light triggering trigeminal neuralgia pain. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2860692/
