The People's Pharmacy asks "Have you been misdiagnosed?"
http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2013/03/ ... diagnosed/

Missed diagnoses are harming or killing 150,000 patients every year. How can so many avoidable mistakes be happening?

Most of us go to a doctor or hospital because we are having a problem. If a symptom is causing us a great deal of discomfort or if it does not go away after a reasonable amount of time, chances ...

 Post subject: fatigue what do you do
PostPosted: Sat Apr 20, 2013 10:50 am 
Hi,

I'm posting this because at the moment, fatigue is the symptom that is most problematic toward me leading a full life.

I have tried to search. Fatigue and or tired or tiredness are not search terms that will work in this forum because they are so common. It might be useful for the moderators, or someone to find the posts where fatigue is the primary topic rather than an incidental symptom. Otherwise they are ...

 Post subject: Recommendations for a good calcium-mag-zinc-d3 supplement??
PostPosted: Sat Apr 20, 2013 10:06 am 
I'm tired of researching vitamins...multi's have proven to be a nightmare. Why do they toss in all of that herbal stuff??!! They mess me up! So I'm switching over to a calcium-mag-zinc-d3 combo, a b-complex, and vitamin e (mixed tocopherols). My current mag combo has mag oxide which hasn't caused me issues but isn't the best form for bioavailability. Any good ones out there?

(Jimmy...am I missing anything important in the new combo? I'm thinking ...

 Post subject: when to take steroids
PostPosted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 7:24 am 
I am wondering where I can find out how to know when it is necessary to take steroids.
I am in the beginnings of a mild attack-- some of my former symptoms are revisiting along with the new symptom of constant burning and cold sensations in my face and neck. These symptoms are uncomfortable but not debilitating.

If I call my neurologist, he will tell me to go get IV steroids. I'm not sure if ...

PostPosted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:33 pm 
As the title suggets, I am MS probable for about 18 months. I am not looking for your thoughts on whether or not I have MS. My mother was dx 20 years ago so I know pretty well how difficult MS is to diagnose.

Since having my wisdom teeth pulled and my first episode of a possible exacerbation, I have not had any issues at all with infections out viruses or anything. A little over ...

 Post subject: Leptin's role in MS - another step in the process
PostPosted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 3:33 pm 
Searching around Leptin info, found these studies which may be of interest.
First three are MS related specifically and last two links are more about Leptins role in the immune system.
Basically Leptin is a major regulator in the Immune system,
low leptin levels - low innate immune activity - high risk of infections.
high leptin levels - high adaptive immune activity - high risk of autoimmune conditions.

Researchers have seen a link between high ...
