This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi, Sorry to hear about your dual diagnosis (ii?). First time I have heard of that. Whatever the outcome, save yourself future trouble by shopping for something that is at least adaptable, if not on the level. I also love charm, but am so glad we have a ground floor apartment...no elevator in our bu...

My husband had an infection (UTI) over the summer, and no amount of water would quench his thirst, yet he was dehydrated. A nurse said he needed electrolytes, which did help. Perhaps all your exercising is depleting these too much?
Why

Thanks Jimmylegs and NHE,
Looks like I have a lot to catch up on. Am definitely going to try and improve the supplements (coQ10 in morning with D And biotine) and the d mag calcium zinc cocktail with the ALA in eve, Jummy).
Now to look at those pedal things,
Why

Well, hello back at you! Hmmm, money being tight, I have to admit our "regimen" isn't so impressive...of course, we still march forward, so my husband is on the high dose Biotine...Qizenday. Seems to help with strength, fatigue, and circulation, but since he is in a wheelchair for a long t...

Am trying to be a better human online, like Cece and Jimmylegs :) Joan Oh, is Cece trying to improve her online manners? If so, I might come back on here...was tired of the militantism. On the other hand, I have always appreciated cheer and jimmylegs, and all that they shared. Ccsvi did not work fo...

From what I gather online, which isn't much and I haven't seen any papers, they actually need some light,even if it is low, to produce the vit D...

So, I recently read that redheads can produce their own Vit D (without sun). I don't know how that works, but am now wondering how many redheads have MS. So, if you or someone you know has red hair and ms, give a shout here.....

Not melatonin, but one of my husband's doctors has been having some patients do sleep studies, and has found that improved sleep has had an effect on "walking" ability for some patients during the day. He offered this study to my husband, as we were discussing the movement/spasms of my hus...

Sarah,
That was a bit harsh on old cure...if you want banking advice go ask a banker! Simples, as the Meerkat says.
Why

A good question! Even if you don't have MS. But because my husband does, we live in a country with "free" healthcare (we still pay for a private insurance to cover most of what the social security doesn't).

Did you ever get this compound form done? My husband has been offered the name brand...must be 12 hours apart and watch for signs of epileptic fits ( or is that just epileptics just can't take ampyra?). Week, he hates to take any drug and at the moment does nothing but diet but he has decided to giv...

I don't have MS, my husband does, but I do have a theory that when we lie down, our processing systems work better. If I go before bed, I will think I am good for the night, but after lying down for half an hour, I need to go again. So I suggest, you go more in the am, because you have been lying do...

My husband uses 5-6 a day. He was hesitant at first, but the other option, where a bag is external but attached to the bladder via a tube, was unpleasant to him. He also had Botox, and should have had that done again last month, but he didn't enjoy the experience! He is also very careful, but gets m...

I agree with Lyndacarol to keep a journal. Also, do not assume the right tests have been done...you need to keep an eye on everything. Once in hospital, my husband was receiving a drip, which wasn't working...I mentioned this to the nurse, and she basically said it was working and assumed I was an i...

I third what Harry said! Sometimes "MS Specialist" sends up a red flag, in my opinion....could be code for big pharma's best friend....
