Day 2 of ECTRIMS 2011 in Amsterdam


Well I'm sitting in the Cafe at the RAI Theatre where ECTRIMS is being held. I am meeting up w/ Dr. Kantor soon to bring everyone more information. The sympossiums are things I can't record on, but I'm getting all the pamphlets of information that I can. I will then organize it in to a summary and share it w/ everyone in a PDF form.

Dr. Kantor is currently in the meeting over 'Functional reorganisation and rehabilitation' ((again they spell things differently)).
On the videos that I am recording of Dr. Kantor, he is asking questions, not to just to question your thoughts... but to comment on the videos because we would all love for all things to be discussed more interactive.

The poster session is also coming up, I will go walk through that after the recorded with Dr. Kantor. There is so much valuable information being discussed here. I have not found my neuro yet, though he is here. It would be nice to see him and possibly record him.

Please stay tuned for new videos to be posted. I will update at the end of the day on my video blog, I just figured throughout the day I could SIT DOWN & type and keep everyone up to date on everything ECTRIMS.

On a personal note, I'm not doing the whole walking around Amsterdam today... My feet are killing me & it's been raining, even hail yesterday. I had heard that it's supposed to clear up soon, so this is good. More interviewing outside, so you can have a visual of where ECTRIMS is actually being held at.

I'm trying to find a quick book online to download, or an app to speak dutch just for the necessities. Like I said I'm in the cafe right now, drinking a Diet Coke... but the bottle says "Diet Light" .... in the old school coke bottles. The food here is amazing, once you understand what the menu says.

This is why I have been eating a lot in my hotel. I was in the lobby last night and I had my computer up to MSWorld.org and a women next to me saw ECTRIMS on the website, and asked if I was here for ECTRIMS... we had a good conversation, turns out she is from the NMSS, NYC Headquarters.

I'm meeting a lot of great people here, and I hope everyone is enjoying the information that I'm sending over! Well it's time to go, after my video blog tomorrow, I'll, write again & let everyone know of tomorrows schedule (Friday the 21st). I do know that Allergan will be speaking about their Screening Tool concerning Urinary Incontinence... I did the screening, it's pretty neat. I'm going to walk around and see if I can do any more recordings to send back of all the new things in trial or that are coming back.

Leave comments if you want.. or questions. I'll get back to them when I can.

BYEEE!!!!
