This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks for the info. Merry Christmas!

Well I did visit the Rheumatologist in September and then again in October. The first visit lasted an hour and a half. He is a new doctor so he asked at least 100 questions and had me repeat my entire history. He said I think you have Fibromyalgia based on your symptoms and the fact that you have pa...

Yeah I agree and the fact that I have hyperreflexia in my legs should have been enough to warrant a Brain MRI or at least a Thoracic MRI of my spine. I guess it's just a wait and see what happens but considering I do have joint swelling and pain in my hands along with thigh and hip pain maybe the Rh...

Another strange issue I am having is skin changes on my lower legs. The skin on my calves has become wrinkled and just odd appearing. Do you have any skin changes? I think this may be from lack of activity and my legs aren’t sweating like they used to. The MS specialist I saw says this is part of S...

Hi Rich, I read some of the responses here. I have thought the same thing many times as you about all the people on here recommending vitamins and books. While I think some of them are sincere it does make you wonder if some of them don't have allterior motives. Some of these recommendations have s...

If you want to follow your doctors advice then do so. You don't need to come here. Most people are here because their doctors advice has let them down. Deficiencies in vitamins, amino acids are often indicative of deeper metabolic problems and infection. Your doctor knows this but won't test for th...

I am out of my depth just because I want to follow my doctor's advice? lol . My job also has nothing to do with this and you have no idea what my business is, how I run it and how I prepare for my clients. That's an ignorant response. I have also never been vulgar to anyone or had an ignorant tantru...

They should just rename this forum. Thisismyagenda. I will stick with the doctor's advice for now as I don't even know if I have MS. Maybe you should take that into consideration before you start recommending advice to random people that really only applies to your current situation. Recommending te...

You want me to get tested for a sexually transmitted disease after I go to a massage parlor. Lol. Also, a physiatrist can usually determine where spasticity is located in your body, that's kinda of the point. I think my symptoms trump your bizarre instructions.

My current problem is twitching in my lower legs, occasional itchy burning pain in my legs, and sometimes while laying in bed I find I must constantly move my legs. Like a restless leg syndrome. The ironic thing of all this is that it it is exacerbated by activity. Not good for someone who was so a...

Not offended at all just annoyed because you seriously can't have the same answer for everyone that you know very little about. Everone has different symptoms. Makes zero sense.

FYI, not everyone has deficiencies in their vitamins levels but that seems be the general reasoning for your posting in all of these threads. Numerous threads all have you saying the same thing regardless of the topic. I don't even know if I have MS or if it is small fiber at this point but my sympt...

I was not tested for Vitamin D but I do take a multi vitamin that contains Vitamin D. I seriously doubt that it is low considering my diet which is generally healthy and the amount of exercise I do weekly (although not as much as I used to because of the pain levels). I also have a pool which I freq...

My B-12 levels were really high back in Feb when I was tested. They were at 2000. This was due to taking a B-12 supplement for energy which I have stopped. They told me it doesn't matter what level you are at with B-12 as long as it is not low and it's only harmful if you have high B6 levels. Those ...

Yes I am experiencing the same symptoms as you and I don't know why they have not done an MRI of my brain. I have excellent Insurance so that shouldn't be an issue. I can't even go to the gym like I used to without feeling sore and tired. It almost feels like I have never worked out before but I hav...
