D.C., he's seen specialist at hopkins, GW, and others. He was showing severe fatigue, some loss of balance, and tingling in his extremities. The MRI's showed the decreased myelin. No family history, he was 20 at the time of diagnoses, I'm not entirely sure of all his symptoms he tries to stay very private with it. He was seeing someone at school but won't start with his new therapist until october for some reason.

Hi, thanks for doing this! My older brother was diagnosed with M.S. about a year ago. Since then he's struggled with depression and mild bipolar tendencies. While he's yet to suffer an attack his bran scans do show demyelination. He's been taking copaxon and hasn't shown any further lose of white matter. However, he has now convinced himself that since he hasn't had an attack, and there isn't any progression, he has been misdiagnosed. By literally 5-10 world class specialists. Seriously. He graduated from school this may and isn't supervised the same way anymore, he's stopped his copaxone with the logic that "If I have it I'll have an attack and finally know, If i don't then I can stop with the meds"

SO my question is: Do you have any advice as to how I can help him cope with his illness and make sure he's taking his meds?

In your opinion do you think classified data leaks are beneficial or detrimental to open secrecy laws? Do you think there is a difference between total data dumps or selected leaks?

I find myself being more lenient in my opinion on the actions of the Media Burglars in comparison with my animosity for Edward Snowden and Private Manning, due to the Media Burglar's meticulous release of only relevant information(on cointelpro) to qualified recipients(The AP and House Oversight Committee) Vs. Snowden and Manning's dump all haphazard releases.

Also shameless plug for Dr. Jason Ross Arnold's "Secrecy in the Sunshine Era: The Promise and Failures of U.S. Open Government Laws"
