Do you know what quarterly magazine this was from.....what the date is, and where can I find a copy?

Thank you all for your ideas.

I'm leaning towards a smoking cessation theory since Himself has also noticed some breathlessness (and has also stopped (again)).

But fatigue induced makes sense, as does environment factors.

I've been deep breathing lots and things are improving

Congrats on quitting smoking! What a great feeling eh?

I get breathless sometimes, but I think it could be the pain medications I'm on adding to it.

Relyonhim,
If you join the registry and become a member of NARCOMS, they send you a questionnaire to fill out every 6 months, on how you are feeling, any relapses, any hospitals stays, etc.

All sorts of MS questions that goes into their MS database for research. You can do it paperless on line, or get it mailed to you free. I have been doing this for years.

If you do this, they give you an expensive magazine, that doctors pay a lot for. It comes in the mail, it's called the MSQR, which talks about all medications coming out, trials, and data from the last questionnaire, and lots more. You can join here.
http://www.narcoms.org/about or http://www.narcoms.org/enroll

I hope this helps.
