This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Any one else expect we will see some changes as far as research and funding? Especially since I've heard Obama's father-in-law has MS.

Miss Feisty - I am trying to figure out "am I doing the right thing" for my daughter who was just diagnosed. It so hard when someone else's health is in your hands. I have nightmares about it. She is miserable on the rebif. I can't even get her out of bed in the mornings after her injectio...

Is anyone having difficulty affording your rebif right now?

My daughter's neuro has mentioned starting her on minocycline. She is currently taking Rebif 44mcg. I see this is fairly experimental. Does any one have any experiences with this treatment course?

I suspect that my daughter's inoculation with the HPV vaccine has caused her, a previously healthy, active 15 year old, to develop MS (at first thought to be ADEM). Any thoughts?

Hi! I am the mother of a beautiful 15 year old girl that has been through alot in just the last couple of months (it feels like it's been years). To make a long story short, the doctors have not officially diagnosed her yet, but they say "all the signs are pointing in the direction of MS"....

Can anyone tell me if CoQ10 is actually beneficial to the treatment of MS and how? Thank you! My daughter has been taking 200 mg a day for approx. 5-6 weeks. She has just started Rebif (2 weeks ago). SOmeone asked me why she was supplementing with CoQ10 and that it could effect her liver (?) She is ...
