I have an appointment with the UBC MS Psychiatrist, Dr. Patricia Mills on Tuesday. She is the one who referred me to G.F. Strong, so we will probably review how that is going.

Dr. Mills "...is a clinician-researcher with a focus on autonomic function...". I gather that  means the involuntary nervous system.

She's a researcher so I'm going ask her if she heard of Harvard University professor Takao Hensch's claim that valproate, an epilepsy pill, can help adults achieve perfect pitch. The theory is it reverts the capacity for learning to that of a seven year old. [Read more at http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/74816#XHalffxeDXSZv18s.99]

I'm going to suggest she [or someone at GF Strong] do a study to see if valproate helps or enhances someone with a brain injury or disease [like ms] re learn lost balance and motor skills. It will be interesting to see what she says.

Daily Injections of copaxone continue. Injections everywhere except the stomach feel like little bee stings. But, aside from that there is no irritation. No noticeable change either, but that is to be expected.

I am continuing to go to GF Strong twice weekly. Now I'm [sort of] trying to walk in parallel bars. I'm not quite to the point where I could try out for a part in Dawn of the Dead. But, I do feel stronger.

Yesterday and today, Irene did my Copaxone injections in the right and left buttocks. Both times they felt like bee stings. Not really bad bee stings, but just enough to be annoying. The feeling lasted about a half hour.
