Intolerance -- If there and don't come on him in April while an angle away at. Eighty. Have trouble what their ordination. In one lands Hubble would rank and another limb once I start hearing -- it could -- legal along with then ask. -- I do my neurological exam. One. Possibility of -- comes out. The number one task that we used nowadays is MRI. And patient -- gambling it would an enhanced to show us inflammation. In central nervous system. Nice thing about our technology is comfortable point where sometimes. If the MRI shows certain number of -- That enhance. We have certain criteria on the McDonald criteria. That allow us to diagnose and that's based on history but physical findings and the moral. -- sort of AMR I always include. And we have to use other tried to import to diagnose. The other -- include long bar on -- and other -- we cult evoked response."

" When a diagnosis is made act should be taken immediately."

" It you have. Until it diagnose and then -- the first thing you wanted to get a person on our hopes are slowing down -- being. Right away."

And in fact. Early on and relax in multiple Laura that's there may be more information. More responsive to our current drug and later on when the disease has progressed a second they're like progress about."

" early forms of the disease tend to respond -- All of our therapy and airport therapy should be begun very early and --"

" And with the help of the MRI. Doctor careful lots of disease progression. And make appropriate treatment decisions with their patients."

" If there's as he's been progressing more rapidly. You can get -- quantifiable. Reading of what their brain looks like I getting an MRI. And how much activity there is going on in what they're more immune suppression -- needed to slow down the disease even more."

" Although the fight again -- and not over. Technology and treatment come along way and continue to provide great strength."

" In the battle. The important thing for somebody to keep in mind. -- an indictment banana. Is that. We have made tremendous strides in the past ten years to come to.
