Arrow Resources, Useful Websites & Clinical Trials

RESOURCES AND LINKS

I thought it might be helpful to start a list of links for resource or research for you to have available. Because I compiled this list more than a year ago, there may be some inactive links. Please let me know if you find one so I can remove it.

Stuart S. has started a repository for MS information. He sent me this yesterday as a link to some of that information:

Hmm- You wonder where to go and what to do. Well for starters, please Click on this link: http://www.msviewsandrelatednews.com (Save this LINK to your favorites)
Then click where it says to click for stuart's blog.

To find something, go to the search screen and type something you seek. Like for instance, Prescription Assistance... and OUILA, it will open provide all the articles that I have archived, concerning prescription assistance.
