This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

How about this study? Results from a Phase II clinical trial observing possible treatment for progressive MS MS Update March 26, 2014 Background: Currently available therapies for multiple sclerosis are designed to target inflammation. This feature enables them to reduce the frequency relapses, whic...

My opinion only, as a 30 year veteran of MS, is exercise as much as you can for as long as you can.

Auto-immunity is an unproven theory and why didn't people get the the same placebo effect from CRAB drugs or Tysabri?

I'm surprised no one has replied to your message. Often when people are starting an antibiotic protocol, they experience a worsening of symptoms such as yours. I think it is usually recommended to keep backing off until symptoms disappear, then building slowly back up to 200mg/day, as it becomes pos...

In defence of Dr Tareq Sinan's team, treating people in Egypt, I would like to say that things are not as easy for a disabled person in Egypt, as here. The clinic where we were tested, especially was not that conducive to a wheelchair, let alone a bed. I don't know for sure, but perhaps in Kuwait he...

Hi Sarah, I'm not really taller, as the centipede crawls, but I am not so bent over, anymore. I stand much more erect, now. My exuberance is waning a little, but I am still very happy to have received angioplasties. It has moved the clock back several yeas on my MS, even before I started taking anti...

Hi, Deb, I read your story a couple of times. It sounds like the neuro that you saw was probably Dr Luanne Metz, or one of her colleagues who is with the Uof C MS clinic, I think. I am not a medical professional by any means, but I posted my ideas here because these are the people who I learned abou...

I have just returned from Egypt, where I was tested and received three balloon angioplasties to open blocked jugular and azygos veins that the doctor said were the worst he'd seen, so far. I am seven days, post-op and starting to recover from jet lag, sleep deprivation, two thirty hour journeys over...

I'm really happy that this discussion didn't die. For some reason, I haven't been receiving mail updates. I've edited my original post at the top of this thread to place more emphasis on overall venal health. I still feel that Cpn, or something the antibiotics were working on, affected MY disease pr...

Hey Cheer, I like your thinking, and it is a little rigourous a protocol for me, as usual. Sometimes you kind of get to me with your truths. LOL So, chlamydia pneumoniae or some other bacteria was probably a big player in the health of my veins, among many other factors, including my lifestyle. Than...

This post has been edited following a little review over at the CCSVI forum: I have just returned from Egypt, where I was tested and received three balloon angioplasties to open blocked jugular and azygos veins that the doctor said were the worst he'd seen, so far. I am seven days, post-op and start...

You'll have to listen to the interview and draw your own conclusions, Salvatore. I decided to seek treatment abroad. It's a one hour show and it's all kind of interesting. The whole show is an hour long, but the Traboulsee interview is 15 minutes. He's really pretty vague about the study, when it st...
