I know it has not been proven but when I first experienced my first symptom and it gradually got worse over the 6-7 I have been dealing with MS. I gained a lot of weight in a short period of time 6 yrs ago. I read that up that ms can either cause extreme weight or loss gain. B4 my official diagnosis in October 2012 I lost 40lbs in a two month period. But now ...

Post subject: Dizziness--Is it MS related?? Posted: Wed May 15, 2013 7:22 pm |

I woke up very dizzy several nights ago. It's better now but still there. Sudden movement, leaning over to wash my hair etc. all make me dizzy and nauseated. I started Tecfidera two weeks ago. Could it be that? I have no appetite partly due to nausea, partly because of meds. Anyone have help? If its a flair up, I can endure. If its due to Tecfidera, I can't live like this for very long. ...

Post subject: Input on Copaxone and Gilenya? Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 9:51 pm |

Hi!
I was taking Interferons for over five years and have developed some very bad reactions to them...i.e. severe flu-like symptoms.
My Neuro is going to put me on either Copaxone or Gilenya, as a result.
What is your experience with either of these? Do you feel they are "effective"? Side effects you've experienced?
Thanks!

Post subject: Oils? Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 7:28 pm |

Hello everyone,
I feel like this is a silly question. A lady at my work today has started selling natural oils. She gave me a web site to go to that told me what "oils" would be good for MS. On her website a bottle of Frankincense oil is almost $100. So I looked on Amazon.com and found the same types of oils on this website much cheaper. Has anyone here tried oils like peppermint, ...

If any of you don't fall within the CCSVI category (i.e. without the narrowed jugular), or if you suspect your issues are related to toxins,
...does any one of you have easy free access to obtaining the clay of sink holes on the shores of salt lakes in Utah, Nevada, or California, or maybe some small ones in Arizona, NewMexico & other arid spots? Or do you have friends with access to same?
...do you ...

I'm still confused, after reading the long thread about MJ, plus sites which discuss its properties.
Questions:
(1) Do most board members favor the idea of controlled legalization Vs. all across the board? Because I'm all for no-strings legality, and against any form of control or patents. (I believe the same goes for Blossom? How about others here?
(2) Having never gotten the chance to experience MJ, no thanks to the SS(stealthcareSystem), I'm trying to ...
