This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Had hayfever all my life but the last few years I've had nasty sinus congestion at times of the year when I never had allergies before. My family doc said it's not related to MS. He also said that if I was taking the MS meds those could cause me to catch colds because they suppress the immune system. ( I've never used any of the MS drugs). Now I have to wonder if in fact it is related to MS or to CCSVI.

I'm planning to get Liberated soon so I guess I'll find out.

I am becoming more and more convinced that the etiology of "MS" is bacterial. Oh yes, the venous stenoses... What if bacteria, or parasites modify the veins to create a more anaerobic environment more conducive to their survival and replication? Dr. Simka has alluded to bacteria in the brain, and prescribed a course of minocycline to at least one CCSVI patient. It could also explain the observed benefit of LDN in some pw"MS".

Yes, the patient was me. There was a research about this drug and MS.
I read it last year, hope to find it again. Result of the research was that the drug minocycline has positive effect on MS brain.
As I knew about the research, I never had problems with antibiotics and I take antibiotics very rarely - I agreed. I was only 10 days on it.
