Hi,

We just made our latest free educational booklet available via PDF. It's called 'Working with Multiple Sclerosis'.

I’ve been on ABX regimen for sixteen months. And I’ve got to say, with a lot of regret, that its benefits for me appear to have been limited.

I had a single neurological episode (with no prior symptoms) in January 05 which left me pretty weak and screwed up. Within a few weeks I started taking ABX according to a regimen provided through correspondence with by Dr. C Stratton (minocycline, azithromycine, metronidazole).

In the first ...

I haven't been on here for a very long time due to lots of upheavel, but I was reading this news story and was frustrated by the lack of understanding between MS and depression... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/5297298.stm
