From my understanding, being in a chair is at least a 6, and no symptoms is a zero. Are you really saying you went from 6 to 0? how long did that take?Kyle wrote:I had this for years and been in a chair and now have no symptoms.
Speculation! After speculation! After speculation!Kyle wrote:I just think a lot of hype has been created here on this site.

Maybe you should just not bother pursuing the treatment since you are now free of MS and perhaps avoid posting negative comments here. I understand now that you don't rate this treatment, and that you see other treatments as better options (for someone with no disability?) and just repeating the sentiment isn't getting us anywhere.Kyle wrote:I went to from a 6.5 to a 0 2 times in my hx with MS. I have had 4 attacks, 2 leaving me in a chair and one time I was blind for a year as well. Both times it took me a full year to recover but today I am at EDSS 0 and feel great.L wrote:...also, I meant to add in my last post that whilst thinking about patient number 3, the twenty seven year old man who went from EDSS 5 to 1 at 12 months and 3 at two years, we shouldn't forget patient number 4, a 46 year old woman who had had the diseases for 15 years and went from EDSS 5 to 0 in twelve months and was staying at zero at two years...
Point being, yes it can happen to anyone. First time I did go on an experimental treatment, I cant say for sure if it worked or not. To this day it's still controversial and not accepted, 2nd time, well maybe I just got lucky.
I have considered revimmune, but I think there are some new therapies using stem cells that look more promsing. Just have to wait and see. I understand when people are desperate to help themselves, I have been there many times. And I hope revimmune pans out but based on the original 9 patients, I cant say THIS is the therapy to have.

What does me sueing an apartment complex have to do with the HiCy treatment and why are you still questioning this treatment. You have already made up your mind not to do the HiCy treatment, so why are you here Kyle? Just to bitch and moan? Maybe get the last word in? Tell us Kyle, why are you here??? tell us all. We are listening.Kyle wrote:You were the one threatening to sue the hotel you were at. You seem to have some general attitutude/anger issues.
Why am I here because my EDSS is a 0. I doubt it wil stay that way after 4 attacks, 2 being severe, my recovery from here on out might not be as has in the past. I like to keep my options open and not have to worry about any more attacks.
Don't like what I have to say then dont read it and move on. this is an open forum.
