No kidding.

you dont say?! :rolleyes:

Duh! ah yup!!:D

I wonder how many research dollars it took to figure that one out.

Yes, I read it and said DOH!! :D

Sheesh!! They could have saved all that money and just asked any of us!! Duh.....ya think??

I had the same reaction........WHY are they spending research money on something like this? It's like reporting that wearing a coat in winter tends to make you feel warmer. :rolleyes:

Cool! Proof!

I told my neuro that my MS is seasonal (that I have certain symptoms at certain times of the year) and he told me that was bullpoo...now I have something to show him that says it's true!

The study is from nearly 20 years ago and only had 44 people participating. I'm unimpressed.

Uh, DUH? I get frustrated at how they "approach" MS. It's like running in place.
