 Post subject: I need advice about taking Provigil
PostPosted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 4:33 am 
I'm a 48 yr-old man, diagnosedwith RRMS for almost ten years. I've been on Copaxone for almost two and it seems to have stopped exacerbations - the last one I had was the month I started my injections.

My biggest problem is fatigue. It has gotten so severe in the past few months that I have been on the verge of depression. I work at home (I do graphics, technical wriiting, and other "internet-friendly" jobs) ...

Check this out from Canada. Maybe if articles like this get sent to the NMSS and every doctor who deals with MS, maybe it may shake them up.

Death of Montreal man may be assisted suicide
CTV.ca News Staff

Police in Montreal are investigating whether the death of a 36-year-old man is a case of assisted suicide.

The man's 59-year-old mother has been arrested and will appear in court this afternoon.

The man reportedly had ...

 Post subject: Another site to monitor AIMSPRO
PostPosted: Sun Sep 26, 2004 4:57 pm 
This site has some information on Aimspro.
This may have been already been posted or known about.
But I thought it would be good to post.

www.proventus.org.uk

Those in the UK that are members here and are taking Aimspro in the trials, it would great to have regular updates on your condition.
I know the rest of us in the US could use some good news.

At a 85% ...

PostPosted: Sun Sep 26, 2004 6:11 am 
Hi, folks! Ok....last post, I promise. This might be a little "off topic", but I'm just throwing it out there for humor mainly.

The NMSS (New York) quoted Donald Trump to me last week. He said "Think Big, Achieve Big", which prompted me to put this together. :wink:

Maybe you'll get a chuckle. hehehe......... (Remember, this is all fact, too!) HAH!

 Post subject: Rolipram Trial Terminated
PostPosted: Sun Sep 26, 2004 5:59 am 
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 ...

 Post subject: New Food for Thought - PTX3
PostPosted: Sun Sep 26, 2004 5:16 am 
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 ...

 Post subject: Does LDN help relieve numbness?
PostPosted: Sat Sep 25, 2004 12:27 pm 
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 ...

A Rich New Stem Cell Source: Research on Umbilical Cord Matrix

Stem cell research. Just the mention of the controversial study stirs
up a storm of debate.

The divisive research has become a political hot potato, even emerging
as a campaign issue. One presidential candidate has declared it an
ethical and moral issue that must not be treated lightly; the other
has pledged to lift a partial ban ...

 Post subject: Lhermitte's sign
PostPosted: Fri Sep 24, 2004 10:59 pm 
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.

Can you have lesions in the cervical spine without have Lhermitte's or does the shock have to be present if there is a lesion?

Thanks for any info. ...
