Now, that doesn't mean, therefore, it's multiple sclerosis, but that rule really helps people not lose their shit.

When we're talking about diagnosis, if you meet the diagnostic criteria, we diagnose MS and move forward.

But there's a gray area where it looks like you might go on to have MS, but we're not sure.

And that's a very scary spot for someone to be in.

And they become hyper aware of their own body.

Like as I talk to you, my head itches, right?

And if someone had said, maybe you're going to have MS, Erin, I would ask myself, is the itchy head related?

And so the 24 hour rule is how I try to help people not go bonkers trying to like sort that out.

So I'll divide therapies into three.

When someone, God forbid, has an attack, we can use high-dose corticosteroids or things like corticosteroids to hasten recovery.

You know, you have an area of inflammation in the brain or spinal cord and you give these really crazy high doses of steroids and you quell that and you get them better faster.

And some of us believe you get them more better.

And so that's one category of medicines or therapies.

And that's an as needed kind of thing when someone, God forbid, has an attack.

Then separate from that, we treat symptoms.

So symptoms are things that suck.

And so you use the example of Ampira.

Ampira is a medicine which helps buttress the human against heat sensitivity.

Not I dislike heat, but when my body gets overheated, I go blind again, God forbid.

Or when my body gets overheated, I can't control my bladder.
