This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

MRIs are a good tool for diagnosis but are of limited usefulness otherwise - some people have lots of lesions and minimal or no symptoms and others have few or no lesions and lots of symptoms. Lesions also come and go regularly so depending on when you have an MRI, they may be present or not. You m...

Thanks for the link which is very timely for me because a back injury has impacted my sacral spine, impeding movement in general (tensed up the musculature) and no doubt CSF circulation which I believe is manifesting as MS Progression.

Vesta, how do you account for the fact that many people with MS do not have CCSVI or any type of restricted blood flow? Refer to Dr Owiesy's work. Stress can cause temporary spasms in the veins to block blood flow. Same principle with Trigeminal Neuralgia (sp?). And Migraines. It's more complicated...

Hey VESTA you really went all in on CCSVI do you think it causes ms or ms causes it what I mean is when the blood flows though a restricted vein is the blood infected with ms but because less blood gets to your brain it enhances the lesion' s that are there. So more flow is better to circulate the ...

Response to this article thought this article was good , easy to understand Overview of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) When you stop having relapses but your MS worsens By Julie Stachowiak, PhD Medically reviewed by Claudia Chaves, MD Updated June 28, 2019 In This Article Onset Sign...

"Actually, much has changed" I would like to know what in your opinion has changed and what is now known WITH CERTAINTY compared to what was know with certainty many years ago. There are certainly a lot of new theories but theories are just that, theories. I have not seen any of these theories, mos...

"Why are Neurologists unequipped to help me ?" What type of doctor could actually 'help' and what could he/she actually help with? My father had MS about 50 years ago and there was little known then about MS and MS treatment and frankly I don't know if there is much more known about treatment that ...

MS patients are doubly cursed. 1) by the « disease » and 2) by the misguided treatment which poisons them with mutlple MRIs and immune suppressive drugs. As I’ve said, I believe Multiple Sclerosis should become a distinct specialty. One might begin with this one scientific study. *Cerebral Circulati...

My neurologist wants me to change medications and switch from Copaxone to Ocrevis. Although no cases of PML have been directly linked to Ocrevis, they do warn about PML in their literature as other drugs that function in a similar manner in 'controlling' MS progression have, so I am not sure what t...

Greetings:

Check out the CCSVI clinic in Rome perhaps. Brain Flow Team, Rome - <www.ccsvi.net>

Best regards

In short, I need help. Why do I have to figure this out by myself ? Why aren’t Neurologists thinking things through, ordering appropriate diagnostic examinations ? WHY AREN’T THEY DOING THEIR JOB ? Answer : Because they don’t know what MS is nor how to treat it. That doesn’t prevent their throwing D...

"Nearly 14 years old and Bromley's post could have been written last week..." While this thread goes back many years, frankly it appears nothing has changed that I know of since my dad was diagnosed about 50 years ago. He could have written the same letter back then... And perhaps we could go back ...

A series of lab tests coupled with a physical neurologic exam have been developed to diagnose MS even though the MD doesn't know what causes it nor how to treat it. In my opinion the primary virtue of the exams is to diagnose other disorders which need to be treated - brain tumor for example -and in...

I can find an idiot who claims feeling better with drinking lead... Please science, sources, data... First comes the IDEA based on an observation. Then the research. Do you think for a minute Fleming understood why the bacteria adjacent the fungus had disappeared? His reaction, "That's funny". Then...
