This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi to all, first of all, I have my MS diagnosis since 2004, had about 15 relapses since then, remission incomplete. I've been reading about MS as a vascular disease and want to ask you something. This year I have noticed some strange blood spots emerging spontaneously under the skin. They are not br...

I certainly hope that PML with Tysabri isn't just a matter of time... WHEN, not IF...

Let me just say hello to you (we are from the same small country): Lepo, da si se opogumila tudi tukaj na precej bolj globalnem forumu. Glede rebifa ti žal ne morem pomagati, ker nisem na nobenih injekcijah - kljub težavam. Od tu naprej se pogovarjamo pa na domačem terenu ;) - msforum. So much about...

Thank you for your post. I'm obviously not the only one. Sorry to hear that you're not getting better for two years... How long do your "flashes" usually last? Can you walk at that time? I lose my strength almost completely during those 10 seconds and if it were my leg I would have to stop...

Any dosage info?

I'm interested in ABX but I can't find any useful info about the regime (dosage, timing...).

Can you provide some useful links?

Thank you.

Reading the article about seizures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizure Seizures can cause involuntary changes in body movement or function, sensation, awareness , or behavior. A seizure can last from a few seconds to status epilepticus, a continuous seizure that will not stop without intervention....

Thank you both for sharing your thoughts. First, I have been tested for Lyme. CSF and blood tests were negative during my first real relapse in 2004... I'm from Europe though (Slovenia), thank you for not noticing ;). Maybe I should repeat the test... Second, I'm 28 (I know, I didn't mention before,...

I do have official diagnosis for 4 years (based on my neurological status, positive MRI, LP and SEP). Had second MRI scan last year, which confirmed the diagnosis (14 or so lesions). I talked to my neuro over the phone but he thought it was weird too. I'm not sure what tests should I do next to get ...

No ideas? I'm thinking of some possible reasons: - mini relapses/remissions (but 10 seconds??? - that's what should be called RRMS!) - MS is causing some kind of ...lepsy (like "narcolepsy" - but only some parts of my body falls asleep) - it isn't MS at all, something else is causing this ...

Hi to all, I have a question. For about a month I'm getting partial temporary paralysis to my left hand and parts of my face - mostly lips, chin and the right eye. It happens every few (15 or so) minutes for about 10 seconds - I can't use my left hand, can't speak, I kind of freeze. After 10 seconds...

Just ran into this info: May 16, 2008 — The FDA today underscored the risk of miscarriage and birth defects in women taking the immune-suppressing drugs CellCept or Myfortic. Those drugs are approved for use by organ transplant patients to prevent organ transplant rejection. They're sometimes used &...

I have some questions about this movie, maybe worth of discussion: Are all the cells that use the "red" potassium channel bad? It seemed to me that those are the cells that sustain our life-time immunity (some of them attacking our own body chronically)... Wouldn't blocking those cells (an...

Not really an FDA approved (yet), but looks promising... Worth watching, at least was for me... Any comments?



Regards from Slovenia, Europe.

I felt pretty much the same, watching those two videos. Almost like a bad commertial...
