 Post subject: My fiance was diagnosed with optic neuritis - could it be MS
PostPosted: Mon May 06, 2013 7:52 pm 
My fiance has been having pain in his left eye when he moves it. He also has blurry vision and says that things appear to move that actually aren't moving. This has been happening for 3-4 days. He went to the ophthalmologist today and was diagnosed with optic neuritis, pending an MRI that will hopefully happen this week.

He is otherwise a healthy 27 year old guy. His only other eye issue was a battle ...

I've found a study on adiponectin:

Quote:
Eur J Immunol. 2013 May 3. doi: 10.1002/eji.201242836.
Lack of adiponectin leads to increased lymphocyte activation and increased disease severity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.

PostPosted: Sun May 05, 2013 2:08 pm 
So, I've spoken to my Neurologist about this, and he can't diagnose the issue. Therefore, I've come here for your help

I was on Rebif for about 3 years. After about 1.5 years of taking it, I started experiencing 2-3 day bouts of illness that resembled an intense flu: sweats, extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting and headaches. These bouts began to increase in frequency. They started occurring every 6 months, then 4....2...

My Neuro recommended I ...

 Post subject: How a Shiatsu Massage Saved My Legs
PostPosted: Sun May 05, 2013 1:42 am 
My first known MS attack paralysed my right arm. My HMO Neurologist said that mine was an unusual case and asked if I would come to be examined by a renowned British Neurologist who would be giving a Master Class at the Hospital. Dr. Christopher Pallis struck me as gruff and arrogant. He stood at the head of a classroom of white coated Doctors before a chalk board and asked
me to sit on a ...

 Post subject: Negative ion bracelets-anyone try them?
PostPosted: Fri May 03, 2013 6:49 am 
RSN60 has made me curious about ion balance. Is there a bracelet that really emits negative ions? Did it help? I've seen some questionable endorsements from pwms but nothing more credible.

PostPosted: Wed May 01, 2013 5:15 pm 
Hi Jimmy, wife got her blood result back and her zinc level was 74 µg/dL. My understanding 60-120 µg/dL is
considered a normal range. Is this true, or would you still consider her results to be low..??? :roll:


Thanks,

Bob

 Post subject: worried for tomorrow's results
PostPosted: Wed May 01, 2013 1:21 pm 
Hello,

I'm a 26 year old female. I'm going to my dr tomorrow for a follow up about my brain MRI I had. I'm worried about the possibility of MS.

This is how it all started... Almost a year ago, I noticed I was getting bloated after I ate, to the point I looked 5 months pregnant. I was also having a horrible time breathing. My chest felt tight, I couldn't complete yawns and just ...
