With MS, We All Need to Find What Works Best for Us

Flipping through an issue of the journal Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders this summer, I was struck by something I read tucked into a long research paper about the effectiveness of cooling garments for people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

It must be said that here in Ireland we didn’t have much of a summer. Though we had the warmest June on record, it was preceded and succeeded by the coldest and wettest versions of May and July to have been observed. Only the most heat-intolerant would have been affected.

I suppose climate change and MS could be a subject for writing someday, but that’s not what caught my eye.

In the discussion section of this paper, tucked in with language like “more research required” and nattering words like “appears,” “could have,” and “may” — which can be so frustrating to a patient who wants firm answers — was a phrase that made some of the most sense I’ve read in medical research texts.
