This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks Mavis!

Hi all... Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've been waiting so long for this appt I don't want to screw it up! Is there anything I need to do to prepare? I suppose what I'm wondering is if I should avoid eating/drinking before the scan. I don't ever recall reading anything in this regard and m...

All this topic is about how Barb is doing, might not be my place but can we stick to this and see how Barb is doing.... Ok but getting off topic never seems to matter until there is a comment posted that does follow the "party line". I am glad Barb is doing well and I hope she continues t...

I just read this article this afternoon. I've included the link below. It made me wonder what kind of scientific process this surgery, brain surgery no less, went through in order to become accepted practice. And further still, why is it not being offered to epliepsy patients who, according to the a...

Thanks so very much for all your kind and thoughful replies. I really appreciate it. Magoo...yes, you're right, they would be there if I asked in a heartbeat. BTW, I'm 44, single, never married, no kids (though I've had a few long term relationships)...oh, and my name IRL is Rhonda too! And I think ...

Let me first say that I have a great family. I love them all and I know they love me. Nonetheless I am dismayed at the fact that they pay little attention to a) my MS (which do date is largely invisible) and b) that unless I directly press them, they pretty much avoid any MS discussion including any...

Hi Andie... So sorry your family is having a tough time. I think these "theories" may help explain to your hubby what MS fatigue feels like, and what it's like to live with it. And they're both pretty entertaining to read! The Spoon Theory http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/persona...

Hi Thoryrose... Just a couple of thoughts... If you are planning on getting a line of loan insurance the institution will no doubt offer you. That way they will have a harder time claiming CCSVI was a pre-existing condition. I think it will be tough but not impossible to get an unsecured LOC if your...

Wow...thanks so much for offering your perspective here. I

I have read your post twice and I have lot's of questions...

Right now, I must go to bed...I have a 'day' ahead of me tomorrow.

Again, thanks so much for posting...I'll be back...with questions!

be well Vii and family,
Hope

I haven't had time to read through the rest of this very sad post tonight, but I will second mshusband's promise of $1,000. If that doesn't happen, or if another fund is created again, I would be more than happy to contribute. Dr Sclafani...I have no words to thank you enough for the time, energy an...

My aplogies if this has been discussed here before, but I caught a bit of this on my local news station tonight and did a preliminary search... So here's a Dr (Chief of Neuosurgery at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas) treating a known condition with "new" surgery. By the sounds of things so f...

Sorry Erinc...I didn't mean to interupt your thread...
When I first responded, it was my intention to speak to the issue you raised...then I just got carried away in my own issues...

Apologies,
Hope

What I don't understand... The MS Society is a charitable organization which purports to serve and support the community of PwMS. The MS Society does NOT in any way shape or form have the right to decide for PwMS their choice, (or not) of which of the currently available medications they take or whi...

ttp://ca.linkedin.com/pub/valerie-hussey/6/49/91 I believe this is the Ontario Vice Chair's Linkinin site. If this is indeed correct, I'm at a loss to explain/digest etc...how it is that a publisher of kid lit with a degree in English Lit somehow thinks she has the power to influence the direction o...

"Lesions and other hallmarks of MS are detectable in an MRI, but "CCSVI" requires special training in interpreting the images.[/quote] I think this statement is misleading. I believe that MRI tech's are trained and skilled in reading the MRI's and that not all lesions are MS related. ...
