Shredder poll results

How important are poll results? Or should we shred them? #MSBlog #MSResearch



Comments left on the poll:

  1. We need to realise that MS is a bad disease. 
  2. "Shredding sounds rather violent! I agree that it could spur people into action in terms of changing the way MS is regarded, and the need to prescribe DMDs etc. 
  3. The action of MS is more insidious, can't think of a good word at the moment and am pressed for time, but I'm sure there is an appropriate word out there..."
  4. Dissolve?
  5. Please use whatever language you need to wake up the giant!
  6. Degeneration is a better description, Prof G.
  7. Why do you continue to come up with such derogatory "labelling" terms? dementing, now shredding.
  8. My brain is shredded. You couldn't think outside the box. I got no treatment an was made to feel a fool. Mine and my family's life has been ruined. I will forgive but never forget!!
  9. Shredder OR shredding appear to be irreversible processes when apllied to paper- is it this the same of brain tissues? If not I would find a better term.
"Although some of the comments suggest shredding is a polarising word the poll suggests using an emotive term such as shredding is okay if it achieves its aim."

"It is our intention to shock. We need regulators, commissioners, payers and therapeutic nihilists to acknowledge that MS is a bad disease if it is not treated early and actively. Things could be very different if we adopted a more aggressive approach to managing MS.  I know not all of you will agree with this approach, but all we are doing is laying out the arguments for this approach or treatment philosophy."

"As a balance to this campaign over the next few weeks and months I will be focusing on benign MS and predicting benign disease. Leaving the costs of treatment and economic arguments aside, benign MS is the most commonly used counter argument to early effective or aggressive treatment, treat-2-target and NEDA (no evidence of disease activity)."

"Do you have benign MS? If yes, how do you know?"
