Canadian researchers question autism screening:

*Interestingly, my pediatrician just argued a week ago that my son, and many more kids, may soon have such a screening.. Apparently there are some real questions over that very assumption.

5k run sounds a bit nice.

Magic mushrooms are good for you... Well look at that, took scientists decades to prove what "hippies" claimed all along.

I’ve found interesting things happen when I do vigorous exercise.

I’m a runner, and I was not prepared to give that up. So I kept running. I’ve mentioned this before, of course, and naturally I get fatigued extraordinarily fast now, plus I start to stagger during runs. I’ve switched to running indoors on my treadmill only, in a temperature and surface-controlled environment with the safety shut-off clipped to my shorts. 

The interesting thing is although running invokes pretty severe staggering and balance problems afterward, the pain symptoms disappear. Exercising releases endorphins (last year, I was completely addicted to what they call Runner’s High; it was keeping my anxiety completely at bay, if I ran 6 days a week). Endorphins suppress pain, so although my other symptoms flare after I run, the pain abates.

I’m not sure I would really recommend taxing, vigorous exercise to other MS sufferers, but for me personally: it keeps me attached to what has always been very important to me, a part of who I am— and it also has enough positive health benefits, feel-good effects, and pain suppression for it to be absolutely worth it to me to deal with the limping, fatigue, and dizziness afterward (I just take a cold shower and then rest).
