This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Pete, I was encouraged to post to share another Ty experience. I have completed 6 infusions and I have noticed 2 things 1. My energy level has improved 2. My heat tolerance has improved. I was unable to endure anything over 73. I am currently have my thermostat at 78. I look forword to reduced elect...

Thanks for sharing the info regarding the congressman's son/daughter. Now that seems to make sense. Forgive me for once again assuming they had found a cause. On the outside I think its an easy conclusion to come to for me. You know what they say about assumptions. I find that I am the one that make...

I appreciate your response. I guess my communication was unclear (it wouldn't be the first time :oops: ) The VA had my full authorization to have my blood for research when the question of the details of the specific research came up my doctor avoided the questions I don't know why maybe he was tryi...

Reference my post earlier Another fact: Veterans diagnosed with MS within 7 years of the discharge date qualify for a "Service Connected" disability at least at the 30% level. Actions speak louder than words. The connection has already been made between MS and service in the armed forces. ...

Thanks for your reply. I had a simple misunderstanding that has been cleared up. I guess I am just too paranoid about Drug Company and other influences. Just cause it says unbiased. There are more lies like that lingering around. After discussing my concerns and clearing it up an apology was made an...

Brock, Excellent!! I haven't done much research on mino but I have to say this will change! If you did a prednisone pak vs the high dose Solumedral IV I did not notice any difference with the pak either. It was only the high dose that helped. but it seems the mino is working well. From your post &qu...

That surprises me that your doctor didn't memtion that. My Doctor said Things to avoid: Excessive heat (stay cool and hydrated) Excessive stress (do meditation or some type of relaxation technique) And MOST IMPOTANTLY!!! AVOID SEX AT ALL COSTS!!! Sex stimulates several processes within the body and ...

Brock, It saddens me to hear your struggles. Initially I had numb legs and feet. I had attacks every 3-4 months after my diagnoses. IV steroids helped most of the time sometimes it didn't. But normally the symptoms would subside within 8 weeks (the time it takes for the human body to naturally recov...

I almost forgot, in addition to an overdose of stress and environmental exposure, I read somewhere possibly the NMSS magazine. That dehydration is also a factor in the breakdown of the BBB. Serving in that heat of the Middle East must also be a factor

These are some great posts. Another fact: Veterans diagnosed with MS within 7 years of the discharge date qualify for a "Service Connected" disability at least at the 30% level Go to a VA Office to get the process going, it takes a while. I personally did not serve in any combat zones and ...

Thank you for clearing this up. I am certainly not looking to pick a fight with anybody. So i now understand you are a member/moderator. I will recognize this as I go through posts and act accordingly. That title "moderator" sends the message you are acting on behalf of This Is MS. So that...

Thank you for the reply! I havent had much luck with other members wishing to discuss any natural remedys. I have found here that these discussions are nipped in the butt pretty rapidly by moderaters at this website an "unbiased forum". Perhaps thier intentions are to keep people from gett...

"This Is MS an Unbiased Multiple Sclerosis Community" I think your unrelenting habit of posting these types of remarks does not allow for an intelligent exchange of ideas. I have noticed your posts carry a distinct tone. Who are you or I to say it is or isnt? Are you aware of any research ...

NHE misquoted Dave "BEATMS" he wrote "I've used probiotics which I believe has been very successful at eliminating the underlying cause of MS, system yeast infection that started in the gut." THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT OREGENO OIL IN HIS POST Probiotics are beneficial organisms that...

Thank you for your response. I took some time to look closer at your post and the study you referenced and I certainly feel a little embarrassed This was from the "abstract" you referenced" at the bottom of your post. BACKGROUND: Evidence on the efficacy of acupuncture for reducing th...
