I just saw an MS specialist, a nationally renowned one at that, and he came to the conclusion that I do not have MS. He said I probably have an unknown inflammatory condition of the CNS and/or peripheral nerves. He also mentioned fibromyalgia as a possibility.
I am greatly relieved but at the same time I am a bit confused since I had positive visually evoked potentials...which I believe are not caused by inflammation, but ...

Post subject: Also Trying Antibiotics Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2004 11:19 am |

I too have also decided to give antibiotics a try. I actually made my decision over a month ago, but could not find a cooperative doctor until recently. He wanted to test me for CPN but before we could do the test I came down with a bad urinary tract infection. Which is probably a good thing, since apparently you can test negative for CPN and still have an infection in the cns, and this ...

Hi there all
After doing as much research as I could I decided that the arguments for trying an antibiotic regime were persuasive enough for me to try.
Consequently I met Dr Wheldon (Incidentally he's a very nice chap!). Armed with a prescription I started 200 mg / day doxycycline on Saturday (02/10). I haven't started the roxy yet as that had to be ordered.
I can't report any results yet as it's too early ...

Hey everybody,
Copaxone Multi-vitamin Vitamin D+calcium B Complex (for energy) and B12 (for overall mental health)
I had a bout with ON in 6/03. I was diagnosed in 7/04 after a year of waiting and testing.
I started Copaxone on 8/30/04. Since I am only a week and a half into my C therapy I cannot really say if its working. I do feel the need to sleep in the afternoons and do not have ...

Using Cancer Drugs To Treat MS
POSTED: 6:14 pm EDT August 30, 2004
It's a simple request, but a few months ago, even walking a straight line would have been impossible for Melissa Kaplan. She has multiple sclerosis and all of the conventional therapies had failed to slow the progression of ...

Post subject: The effects of Minocycline in the first two weeks Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2004 12:15 pm |

After giving up on one of the ABCR drugs due to the side effects, I felt the need to at least do something for my newly diagnosed MS. I convinced my GP to give me a prescription for Minocycline.
The first thing I have noticed on being on the antibiotic is that it makes me slightly lightheaded. I haven't experienced any stomach problems yet and I am thinking of adding acidophilus to my diet of ...
