Not wishing in any way whatsoever to demean the account - conversely, I would wish that the same 'subtlety and compassion' could be both shown and given within the confines of the mailbase. It is with some surprise that I note the personal attacks on some individuals wishing to discuss ideas and thoughts. I am sure these lead on to a 'keyboard paralysis' and push many back in to 'lurker' status. This is not a plea for a 'free for all' - only that the professional approach so evident in the anecdote be equally evident here. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Bruce Gray Sent: 19 October 2000 05:54 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: Physiotherapy and Multiple Sclerosis I have seen hysterical paralysis and MS. The MS case I refer to showed persistent plaques on several scans, and had been diagnosed a chronic progressive by 2 neurologists specialising in MS. She had been wheelchair bound for 2 years. I witnessed the remission in the office of an old American Osteopath MD who very subtley and compassionately lead this women through a catharsis. It still remains one of the most profound experiences I have witnessed. > > >ms is known as the great mimicker, and patients are known to demonstrate >'Hysterical Paralysis" could that be the case? >Joe >-----Original Message----- >From: John D.
