Hey all. Well, I went to my Primary Care Doctor today. I did get switched from Topamax to Zoloft for depression. He said he didn't know also what is causing my muscles to be tight all the time, and didn't know about why my speech is slow and slurred. He said that the slump in my back was from just poor posture (which I've had all my life) because MS doesn't deal directly with the ...

I was diagnosed with MS on April 4th, but have been through testing since Feb. I was denied Medicaid, and then both them and my doctors told me to file for disability since I cannot work or drive due to my MS. On 4-25, I faxed them all the paperwork that was needed for me to fill out. I called about a week ago and the girl told me that all that she saw in ...

CONCLUSIONS:
We found a small but statistically significant and clinically important increased risk for developing multiple sclerosis, in those with tonsillectomy and appendectomy at <= 20 years of age. There was no convincing evidence to support the association of other surgeries and the risk for multiple sclerosis. Well-designed prospective etiological studies, pertaining to the risk for developing multiple sclerosis, ought to be conducted and should include the examination ...

I found this article browsing. It doesn't study MS directly, but suggests that Creatine plus Coenzyme Q 10 give better neuroprotection in Parkinsons and Huntingdons than either do alone. I use both. I stumbled on the article while looking at Glutathione and thought I'd share.

Does anyone else use these?

Here is the abstract plus intro.

First of all, let me admit that I watch entirely too much TV.

Next, I was watching "America's Test Kitchen" yesterday when store-bought tortillas were reviewed. The evaluation was also on their website:

"The higher the percentage of fat, the more we liked the tortilla. First, fat adds flavor (our winner, at 9 percent, was called “slightly rich” and “buttery”). Second, a higher percentage of fat helps produce a more tender yet flaky tortilla by ...

I was diagnosed on April 4th for Relapsing-Remitting MS. Symptoms I've had since Feb are double/blurred vision, slowed/slurred speech, unable to concentrate as well as before, plus they also found a white lesion on my brain.

After doing research, I've found that for a long time I've had MS fatigue, my concentration in some areas were hard to deal with but no one had ever thought that it was MS. Some thought I was lazy, ...

Hi,

I have SPMS and have had balloon angio three times
1st time 08/2010 - IJV's
2nd time 12/2010 - Azygous and IJV's
3rd times 05/2011- Azygous and IJV's

This was in 2010/11' and since then have avoided further treatments as despite taking LDN since 2008 which stopped my progression, after the 1st/2nd procedures my legs became weaker and bladder more incontinent
So i assume there has been scarring/damage to these veins

Since 2011 i ...

Too many years have passed since finding that people with ms benefit from sleeping on an inclined bed. Many of you here have read the posts from people using IBT for ms. The results in the MSRC Report titled Raised Bed Survey should have sufficed to have the results tested in a trial for pwms. http://www.inclinedbedtherapy.com/index ... &Itemid=75

All those years ago I asked a leading neurologist how exactly ...

Internuclear ophthalmoplegia(IO) (right sided) + one & Half syndrome.

Yep, I had to google both of those too.

This is the latest fun diagnosis Emma has had for her ever worsening eyesight issues.

She's had all sorts of wonderful improvements since starting treatment with Dr Amir that I guess it's only fair that something else goes wrong somewhere!

This latest diagnosis was made last week by a consultant Opthalmologist at our local hospital. Hat's off ...
