This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Finally received a yes for a referral! Only took 7 months since my response to this post...yikes. I wasted too much time and money on neurologists for this matter...they are all in the same "no" boat. Your GP is the only answer. Keep trying.... One mission complete, as the petitioning and ...

PCakes: So what is the benefit of membership? And where does the 'vote' come in? I see the society says on the link you provided to "have a say in the future of the society' Does this mean that members have input? So you are saying that by joining the society it may give members more sway in ho...

Arne: I don't want the society to die, I would prefer they work more efficiently towards CCSVI research and try to be more generous. They do fund other studies and clinics but the money is there to donate a million to ccsvi studies without abandoning other interests. I believe in advocacy and self a...

Hey Brightspot...notice the date on that article you posted a link to? A day after my post!!! Can't say there is any connection, but you never know who's watching this site. Or maybe it was an odd coincidence. Regardless it was a good article and he left out other data that kind of raises an eyebrow...

Exactly Brightspot....exactly right. I wonder if they would be brave enough to expose a dollar amount or maybe that is private.

Thank you everyone for the informative links, I will pursue them. I haven't heard about the ccsvi allocation for the mswalk, I will check their site! Msrelly: I hope I am right or the MS Society will be in trouble, these are the charity returns or T3010 forms registered with the government! http://w...

Sitting here with the 2009 MS Society of Canada's Charity Return info in my hands from the CRA website. They issued tax receipts for almost $17 million dollars last year amongst other revenues. This is your money and my money, mom's money, dad's money...you get the picture. This is on a national lev...

Located in Ont. I'm willing to go out of province to find a suitable doctor. If I don't have any luck in my own country I will then pursue international options. I don't think my requirements are out of the ordinary but seem hard to find. I've already checked the 'rate a doctor' sites but most of th...

One thing I have learned, everyone endures a problem, a fear, a heart break, a loss. You are not alone. We are here sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. We understand and know how you feel. I had suffered enormous grief when I was diagnosed. Too many losses in a short time removed any feeling of ...

Hello All, I'm shopping around for a new neuro in Canada. I am seeking a doctor who is knowledgeable, can offer positivity, able to listen and acknowledge problems and is not a crab drug pusher. I would like to see someone who is open to alternatives and is up to date on various treatments. I don't ...

Thank you all for your replies, appreciated.
It's a difficult decision with any med.

Thanks for being here!

Sorry, I haven't yet done my research....but are the society's financial statements public? The situation doesn't make sense. The MS Society is a good organization, I'm tired of seeing such negativity surround what is suppose to be the "middleman or go between" to learn about the disease a...

Hello, I hope someone can help. I really don't want to take the copaxone, I am willing to take my loses without crab drugs (aka the 70% it won't work). Tried rebif with horrible side effects and I'm tired of introducing all these foreign substances to my body. Maybe I'm making a mistake, but no one ...

Thanks for the link.....I need to take some of my reading to the facebook thread.
