 Post subject: Is Pinexel PR better than the antimuscurinics?
PostPosted: Wed May 01, 2013 2:04 pm 
Having tried different antimuscurinics with mixed results my uro gave me Pinexel 400mcg once a day to see if it helps

The uro said to take one tablet before bed but the instructions in the box says one in the morning? which is it?

Has anyone used Pinexel prolonged release 400mcg? Were they more effective then the antimuscurinics?
Did it help with how many times you pee per day and accidents? would you recommend

 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 ...

 Post subject: MS victims - you want proactive strategy? How's this?
PostPosted: Wed May 01, 2013 12:54 pm 
My strategies are,

firstly, to proactively speak out in the main venue where peoples' money goes (other than Big Pharma of course...

Yes, you got it, Amazon!
y'know what they say, follow the money trail
...Big Pharma follows the money trail, and so why not me too?
y'know, an EYE for an EYE, but in this case, it's an I for an I

So over the years, i've posted comments (or reviews), addressed to Amazon ...

Protection of Tregs, Suppression of Th1 and Th17 Cells, and Amelioration of Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis by a Physically-Modified Saline
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Ad ... ne.0051869
How long before we get a human trial with saline? Too inexpensive/harmless for that?

I need to read through that with better focus when I have time. My usual random loose thread of thought is "I wonder if csf is like the saline in that it can ...

PostPosted: Tue Apr 30, 2013 2:21 pm 
I was diagnosed with MS Mothers Day Weekend of 2012. The doctors wanted to put me on Avonex injections. Since I was young and not experiencing too many symptoms, I decided to have a second child before taking the medication. Well, here I am... Just gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Upon returning to my Neurologist today, he told me about Tysabri IV. Gave me a script for blood work and one for new ...

 Post subject: Subgroup of MS, FMS etc. have narrow veins?
PostPosted: Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:40 pm 
Is it possible that a subgroup of those labelled MS, FM, CFIDS (or whatever) actually have:

(1) genetic body structure
(2) nutrient-deficiency-caused
(3) enviro-caused (plaque, plastics, metals)

...narrow-strictured veins/arteries in at least one or more body locations, thereby causing much of their ill health?

 Post subject: stem cells vs. atherosclerosis etc.
PostPosted: Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:35 pm 
The stem cell board seems less active with the advent of CCSVI, so i've decided to post here.

Assume that Jane Doe's arteries & veins are clogged with plaque, metals, plastics, thereby causing bodywide bottlenecks.

I cannot find even ONE video explaining HOW/IF injected stem cells can prompt ejection of cumulative junk prior to getting on with regeneration? Or is that why there's just a 33% proportion of stem cell recipients who are actually healed? ...

Printed in the Wall Street Journal:

http://online.wsj.com/article/APdf785bb ... 5fc5f.html

NEW YORK — The U.S. government sued Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. again on Friday, saying it paid kickbacks for a decade to doctors to steer patients toward its drugs, sometimes disguising fishing trips off the Florida coast and trips to Hooters restaurants as speaking engagements for the doctors.

The lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan came two days after the ...

 Post subject: Occupational therapy: worth the time?
PostPosted: Mon Apr 29, 2013 5:31 pm 
So I had my first big episode about 5 weeks ago: double vision, dizziness, facial and tongue numbness. I had steroids and those symptoms went away. Two weeks ago I started dropping things. Last week I noticed a stiffness in my right hand. I have trouble picking up pens and silverware and the like (of course I'm right handed :roll: )

Iwas really sold on the ...
