This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

I am in pretty much life-limiting pain. Not only do I dislike the pain, I very much dislike the solutions from the doctors. I am on 2 different types of narcotics,fentanyl and oxycodone. I have developed addictive behaviors, like making sure that I have my supplies in adequate quantities, etc. Boy do I hate this life!
I have asked the Doctor if there are any detox programs that will take me back down to a ...

:-D There is so much good information on this site.

The problem is finding it in the large haystack. :confused:

We need some kind of a set up where people can look for solutions and find specific answers as to what has worked for people with MS. Not just people's stories about their efforts and ideas, but a ...

Could be possible to have a subforum about etiology or research into pathogenesis? There is a lot of news in this area that could be interesting.

I've got a suggestion. I think it could be useful to add "Mark topics read" button to apper after clicking "View unread posts". So then, one could simply check unread posts, and when there's nothing that one finds interesting he can just click "Mark topics read". By "topics" I mean all topics of the forum. What do you think?

I suggest the stem cells topic be broken into specific treatments. HSCT (hematopoietic stem cell transplant) aka bone marrow transplant is a different procedure than having placenta derived mesenchymals injected in the vein or spine. In the states, this procedure (HSCT) is performed at Northwestern University hospital in Chicago under the guidance of Dr. Richard Burt. It isn't a new procedure. It has been around since the 1980's and is FDA approved for blood and ...

I feel like this could benefit the forum if it was part of the website. Many times people will post things that are very informative and helpful. New members would find them that much more helpful if 10 other people agree with what the person has said.

Also many times I would go to answer someone's question but someone has already answered it much better than me lol. So I keep to my self because ...

I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at the University at Albany, SUNY. Together with my advisor, I am conducting a new online survey examining thoughts, emotions, and adjustment to MS (the teaMS study). We are inviting people with MS to share their experiences living with this disease in order to better understand the psychosocial, as well as physical, impact of MS. The survey takes about an hour to complete and all responses are ...

Just wanted to post a comment about the Vitamin D research.

My best understanding of the ''job' of Vitamin D is to transport calcium from the GI tract, into the bloodstream.
Vitamin D levels are directly impacted by the level of Calcium in the blood stream.
To maintain the proper, delicate, balance of Calcium in the blood, Vit D has to transport more or less Calcium to make sure the levels are sufficient in the ...

Hello everyone, member of this forum. Thank you for the opportunity given to me so i’m still here in this forum. Do you know that TIMS forum is very rich of informations, rich of experiences, rich of knowledges from every member regarding MS? Yes, of course you all know it.

I’m just a newbie here, i don’t have the power and knowledge to answer all my questions about MS alone.

When i used to go ...

Hi, i'm wondering if there's any place where i could see important conclusion for every post or topic related to MS? If there's none, i find myself lost here in so many informations available.

Would it be better if there's a conclusion from so many post and so many important informations each member has?

I think we all have been given a piece of puzzle that could bring us to an answer to the MS ...
