This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Let me start by saying I am not a physical therapist. Plain directed physical exercise may be a simple alternative you can try at home right now. For example, I noticed I found it difficult to stand from a squatted position, so I started doing deep knee bends every day, and now its easier. I often t...

Study results like the above are very questionable. They did not compare it to an alternative core strength exercise such as planking. Testing against nothing? really?

Yes, one should never read anything into a scientific journal beyond what is actually stated. However, the article referenced above, as written, implied that they saw no end (ie all while they measured, for 50min). On the other hand, the article I read said there was a definite measurable end. A big...

And their working memory remained sharp for as long as the researchers continued testing it, for 50 minutes.

I remember (without stimulation) reading a similar article on the event, and I was certain that in the source I had read, the effects were transitory.

Considering how persistent the link has been between EBV and MS, it recently occurred to me that the site does not have a specific forum on the topic. I am not suggesting I would be posting heavily in an EBV forum, but I know I have over the years read a number of articles and posts regarding it, in...

Although the drug they tested sounds like a risky option in itself, what I do see (in the half full cup) is an opportunity to better understand the disease, and what may improve matters, by the way the drug causes its effects.

What trial are you joining?

I have joined, and already received my first dose for: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03283826

NB: the nine month washout for Gilenya has been removed, but was part of the original exclusion criteria when I first applied.

I have found something similar. Depleting EBV with artificial T-cells also works, even in progressive stage. Epstein-Barr virus–specific T cell therapy for progressive multiple sclerosis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6302936/ see: https://www.thisisms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3...

I am not suggesting or recommending anyone to do what I did, as it was simply based on my own thoughts based no scientific basis. So, I wanted to participate in a new trial, but it had a 9 month washout period for Gilenya. So, the sooner I stopped taking it, the sooner I could start the trial. I kne...

I saw a documentary about this a few years back. there were rats running around.

"5 to 10 mg per day caused significant hair loss" ... Dr. Google says: “Biotin deficiency is rare and low levels may result in brittle nails and hair loss, however, hair loss and brittle nails may have multiple causes and taking biotin supplements may actually halt this process and even help to rev...

They know since 2007 that EBV is to blame. What are they waiting for to try antiviral therapies?? .... we interpret these findings as evidence that EBV persistence and reactivation in the CNS play an important role in MS immunopathology. One groups evidence does not constitute proof. And others hav...
