This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi!

It is so very important that anyone prescribed antibiotics, takes the supplement acidophilus( pro biotic), to replace the good bacteria in the stomach, pro biotic drinks are not good enough, if not the bad bacteria can cause you problems

Hi there, welcome to my new shiny blog/diary. I'm 31, have had MS and CFS for 12 years (lucky me!) and I don't believe either are illnesses in their own right, but i'm sure i'll babble on about that later! I've had CCSVi surgery, it made things as lot worse and i've done a gazillion other things but for the last year i've been itching to give ABX a go because it focuses along lines ...

Hello to all who are treating themselfs with Abx's.

Can You comment if there are any benefits after you've started taking Abx's for MS treatment.

I've read a lot about Cpn and MS. I too had the NAC test and so far it looks like that i have CPN.

Please comment!!!

I started taking minocycline two months ago (100mg / day) and I've been having a fair amount of joint and muscle pain. I'm assuming this is the "transient lupus syndrome" I've read about. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this and, if yes, your advice on whether I should (1) Stop taking the drug (2) Just ride it out (3) Switch to doxycycline. I'm not on any other therapy: I've opted for for ...

Hi,

I'm interested in trying Minocycline antibiotic as a therapy and have approached by GP and neurologist who both say they don't recommend it as it's still unproven.

Have other people had this problem and if so, how did you manage to get around it?

Thanks,

Julie

Hey all!

Very very excited here. I've been tested for CPn (chlamydophila pneumoniae) and I only have 3 days wait on the results! My NAC has arrived from USA ($6.95 for 60 caps) and I am so excited.

I have been doing a lot of research on CPn and it's implication in MANY neurological disease - I cannot believe the astonishing evidence! To think that nobody ever bothered to test for it!

I think we ...

Hi!
I think it's about 5 yrs ago that there where some succesful studies with "only" Mino...
but what has happened in the meantime?

What about Serono and the
tetrazycline-like drugs..are there any new results? (http://www.paratekpharm.com/docs/ARTICLE12112006.pdf)..
I just noticed that there is a trial with Mino + Rebif.

Dear friends,
I had an attack of weakness in both legs with some bladder issues about three years ago. Diagnosed as transverse myelitis by a single lesion showing up in dorsal spine. Since then very slowly i have progressed downhill. Repeated mri show same lesion becoming long over 8 segments and with steroids shrinking back. However the weakness in legs kept increasing. Two months ago i started doxy+azi and pulse of metro. first cycle went ...

I'm near Chicago and would love to find a doc that is well versed in how to treat MS with antibiotics. I'm not a fan of them but would be willing to give it a try to see if it would help.
I just wonder how MMS might not do the same thing for us as antibiotics would....

Not as comprehensive as it might be. Where are doxycycline, minocycline and roxithromycin in the treatment of Chlamydia pneumonia? If multiple sclerosis is put in train in susceptible people by a C pn infection which gets into the brain, abx which also get into the brain are needed.
