ABQ: Volunteers needed for cooling study
I’m paraphrasing here, but some famous dude once said, “Ask not what your MS community can do for you; ask what you can do for your MS community.” What I am trying to say is that MS research can’t happen without volunteers, and only a handful (i.e., not enough) responded to my earlier e-mail call for a cutting-edge cooling study being conducted at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
It’s easy to sit back, prop your legs up, and wait for the results, but the study won’t move forward if everyone takes that attitude. There are no experimental drugs to take, no lives at risk, no puppies harmed. It’s just a bit of exercise, a cool dip, and a probe that will make a good bar story. If you qualify, I urge you to consider volunteering—the MS community worldwide will benefit from your participation.
VOLUNTEER: We are looking for 1) adults (over 18 yrs old) who are mildly to moderately affected with relapsing-remitting MS as diagnosed by a neurologist. They must be individuals afflicted with MS who experience a temporary worsening of symptoms when body temperature increases due to ambient conditions or physical activity, ie they are "heat sensitive". Patients will have to be ambulatory and capable of performing the screening tests and moderate exercise.
To sign up or get more info, contact researchers Ian Power : iapower@salud.unm.edu or Glen Adkins : WAdkins@salud.unm.edu or Christine Mermier, PhD CMermier@salud.unm.edu or 272-2658. Deadline: ASAP.
Thanks guys, and to those who volunteer, I owe you one,
