First Pot, then Booze, now Coffee

It's animal data, but we'll take what we can get when it allows us to rationalize another vice. I'm hoping for the study that says sex helps stop MS, but I don't know how they'll get the mice to cooperate.
Great news. Saw this a week
Great news. Saw this a week or so ago haven't slept since ....
So now my diet is Coffee, Evening Primrose Oil, Glucosamine, Vitamin D, Prozac (Another recent addition), Ginko (washed down with red wine) ... I haven't got time in the day, or room in my stomach, to break the saturated fat rule for a Swank diet even if I tried.

I don't know about "stopping MS", but I certainly am pain-free for a half-hour after sex. I know it's hormones and endorphins ... but can't they bottle it? My initial dx was fibromyalgia -- the overall pain and stiffness is with me 24/7, except for that golden half-hour.
On the flip side there is
On the flip side there is also evidence that coffee lowers your uric acid level (some believe a higher uric acid level is beneficial to MS). Caffeine is good, coffee maybe not.
