In other news, water is wet. Still, interesting and perhaps might help people trying to get insurance to pay for SID therapy.

It's funny how the people with the condition know this and "researchers" are just now finding out . . . if they just asked, they would have gotten this bit of information a bit sooner.

Asking will just produce anecdotal subjective reports. The researcher is actually measuring MSI. He is coming up with numbers.
