Now it’s time to test on a larger scale how well CureTogether data represents the general population. Do they match up or not? So we’re running a contest to tap the most brilliant stats minds out there. Challenge our dataset! See whether or not it holds up to existing research studies. Why? You’ll be helping to demonstrate the effectiveness of online platforms for medical discovery, and ultimately helping to reduce global suffering. NOTE! The goal of the competition is not to reach any predetermined conclusion. It is to measure as well as we can how much our conclusions agree or disagree with the PubMed literature. Whether you fin...

The challenge, based on the story of a real girl who lives near Philadelphia, drew 1379 posted comments and closed this morning with publication of the answer. Dr. Lisa Sanders, who moderated the piece, says today that the first submitted correct response came from a California physician; the second came from a Minnesota woman who is not a physician. Evidently she recognized the condition’s manifestations from her experience working with people who have it. The public contest – and even the concept of using the word “contest” – to solve a real person’s medical condition interests me a lot. This kind of puzzle is, as far as I know, unprecedented apart from the somewhat removed d...

I try not to bring up politics or religion and instead focus on things that will draw an audience together instead of dividing it in half. I know for example that just the mention of the word abortion or death penalty can have disastrous effects. All of a sudden by uttering a few words half of my audience has turned against me. Yet we need to find a way to convey controversial ideas to an audience. We need to find a way to bring the audience with us. I’ve found that using stories and leaving out buzz words is usually effective. I try not to take sides, but put the listener in the situation and have them see things from my point of view. Painting a picture instead of preaching has worked well for me. ...

The theme this year is:  “Alliances: People, Patterns, Passion,” a broad theme that celebrates cooperative relationships that work towards a common goal. I knew I didn’t have time to piece and then quilt one.  I remembered this fabric with the scene involving people working together so I decided to do a “whole cloth” quilt and machine quilt it. The quilt is 16 inches square. These next few photos are to try to show some of the quilting detail. I love these pigs.  Not sure why one is wearing what looks like a yoke. I ca...

We did a fabulous loft conversion. A lovely new big bedroom and en-suite just for us, and our old bedroom for Darling Son Number One.

I’m not sure if it’s an actual achievement, but hell, what started out as a joke potentially turning out to really coming to fruition is achievement in my books. But now, Team Griffin is taking their sweet time to decide between two videos on who is going to get to meet Kathy. So I’m feeling a bit bitter now, and am moving on from this.

That wasn’t the purpose, the purpose is that I want the video to be seen. So I released the video even though I knew I missed the deadline.

My MS Health Care Team by Kenneth Bandler My longstanding principled approach toward the medical profession has been simple. The patient is the customer. If not satisfied with your doctor, then find another. Certainly, you don’t want to ponder in the middle of the night doubts about the veracity of what the doctor had said so definiti...

I hesitate to call the four blogs we have chosen “winners” because the simple act of putting thoughts to screen, of turning the mish-mash of experiences that multiple sclerosis has thrown our way, into the inspiring pieces of prose I have been reading makes every one of our entries a WINNER!!! We have made our decision, however, as to four very compelling stories of lives with MS. Those chosen four will be notified, via e-mail in the next day or so and over the next two weeks, you ...

Fortunately for us, this is an aberration. How could we function with a sink like this on a daily basis? So glad it's only every other day. Ha! You think I'm kidding. No, now I'm kidding. I must admit, however, that last night the sink looked just like this, except without all the artsy high contrast. And it wasn't so blue. At any rate, I discovered to my amazement that every utensil & cup in our home had migrated to the sink and gathered a sedimentary layer of sticky food on their journey.

While the percent of the speed eating population is not large enough to warrant a scientific study, several former speed eaters are dealing with obesity, clogged arteries, and other gastrointestinal problems. One competitive eater even found that after a while, his stomach would not register being “full” when he ate normally. This condition, called peristalsis, means that the stomach is not contracting.
