THIS IS JUST INTERESTING FURTHER JUSTIFICATION FOR MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT DESIPRAMINE NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO CLINICAL TRIAL:

I was perusing the NMSS's list of Clinical Trials for Summer/Fall 2004, and the current results, etc., and lo and behold I ran across the results of the Rolipram clinical trial.

Did I call it or what? I had said in my original research that the reason that Rolipram had not been looked at sooner for ...

Hi, folks! Well, just to inject some new food for thought, I'm posting some information that I haven't posted here before. If you'll remember from my original short synopsis of my research that Arron so graciously posted as an editorial on this website, I very quickly mentioned PTX3.

I thought you might be interested to see what I found when I looked up PTX3 further. I did it just as a quick curiosity thing. I ...

I am going through my 3rd very bad relapse since being diagnosed with MS two years ago. I have had the usual steroid treatments, but they are not working in getting rid of the numbness I am experiencing all over my body right now.

I have read so many promising posts on LDN that I want to try it. Has it helped anyone here with numbness? Numbness seems to be my #1 MS symptom. Right ...

has pledged to lift a partial ban ...

I am having a cervical MRI in a few weeks, but I do not think I have had the Lhermitte's sign. I do get odd sensations when bending my neck to the side, mostly trying to sleep at night, but never dropping my chin to my neck.

Thanks for any info. ...

Hello all!

I have been dx with MS in June 2004. I have been back and forth and all over the place about which med to take. I do not want to be sick for 24 hrs so I was not going to go with Avonex. Any suggestions would be great. I am going to start something in the next few weeks.

Take care,

Is there a Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month?

If there is, when is it? :?:

If there isn't, WHY NOT! :!:

I just did a search on the world wide web and discovered that March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness month. Did anybody else know that? I was not AWARE of it.

Isn't the whole purpose of having a Multiple Sclerosis ...

When I was diagnosed in the spring my neuro said three things at the outset:

- there's no cure
- it will get worse with time
- you've got it for life

How long will he be able to keep repeating this to new patients?

This website has been invaluable in providing me with up to date information on different theories / treatments relating to MS but I'm left wondering why a group of, I ...
