Thanks curious what "exactly the same results" would be? Did your friend try both or...were your friends results about the same as reported by those trying fasting. And what were the results? The lead researcher is kind of a rock star at UCSF so , I was intrigued by why he would be followi...

I did a search on ThisIsMS for any previous discussion on this but there hasn't been much ( a single thread in 2013). UCSF is a actively/continuing trials on this OTC drug. Is anyone trying it? Any reason why I would NOT try it? The drug has been around forever. I suspect that it will be hard to get...

Its a good idea, I have avoided seeing a neurologist aside from the time of my initial/fairly intense episode about 20 years ago. I'll speak to my GP and get a referral. Can you tell my why "pilates floor exercises are usually not appropriate for MS"?? I am not sure if a pilates private in...

I was a consultant and a friend had a bad head injury. It spooked me so i got a policy and paid quite a lot over t...

Thanks Jimmylegs, The MS Society of BC/Yukon referred me to Law Foundation of British Columbia. I have a message into the Foundation but, i am pretty sure they will not recommend a specific lawyer / law firm. They do mostly legal advocacy / public legal education. I was hoping a Canadian on the foru...

Hey, I've been diagnosed with MS for a while. All under control but starting to really feel fatigue. I have a private disability insurance policy. I want to speak to a lawyer in British Columbia (ideally). I am worried that I will lose my job for "non performance." My employer DOES NOT kno...
