Did where you grow up give you MS?

My name is Anthony. My Dad was diagnosed with...
I just read your article and this is one of the 1st ones by a noted neurologist stating that you can use ADHD stims like Ritalin and Adderall and the like to treat MS related cognitive fatigue.
I have been diagnosed back in '94 and have been dealing with cognitive fatigue. After trying for 3 years, I was able to convince Dr. Aaron Miller / former CMO of the NMSS to let me try Cylert. I took 18.75 mgs and the fog was gone! 2+2 = 4 again.
After Cylert got pulled from the market, I shifted over to Ritalin. I take 20 mg @ 6A, 1030A & 3P. Dioes the same thing.
Can you please talk with the NMSS and get them to integrate this into their literature for dissemination and help all of the folks with MS related cognitive fatigue back into the world real time.
You can reference the study being done on C105 by the former heads of the cognitive fatigue committee for the NMSS, Dr. Munschauer & Dr. LaRocca and their work with Cognition Pharmaceuticles on this. C105 is a very similar medication to Ritalin, just one that is being pitched to MS cognitive fatigue.
If you are interested, I would love to talk / type with you about my experiences with Ritalin and my MS related cognitive fatigue.
