I agree with you that products that "correct" or modify the immune response have been helpful. However, immune boosters, especially when interferon-gamma is induced, may make me feel worse. I am afraid to increase the likelihood of an attack because I have increased the activity of my immu...

Thanks for sharing your experience. My cousin told me of someone taking HMS-90 who has experienced a significant improvement in mobility these past 4 months. She says it is due to the HMS-90. However, I am skeptical because Immunocal(r) is marketed as an immune system enhancer, which I think would i...

Hi VirtuallyFine, I also had increased liver enzyme levels while on Rebif and had to decrease the dose for about a month (I think) until the levels dropped back to normal. At the time I thought that this increase was due mostly to the oxazepam that I was taking at the same time as Rebif to help me ...

Greetings, I've seen this mentioned on numerous posts but I'll say it too - it is refreshing to access an independent and well-organized website about MS. I was diagnosed with RRMS on Nov. 1st, 2000. Autoimmune diseases, including MS, have been part of my family for three generations now. Initially ...
