This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

One thing I can say ab out ccsvi treatment is it did get rkid of my ms hug amd l'hermette's. it didn't help much more for me, but those are gone!

The study my doctor is trying to get funded is/was going to inject embryonic stems cells into the 'white matter' of the brain. They are having problems getting it funded plus getting ethical approval.
We'll see...

My doctor told me the drug companies are already working on ways to get involved withstem cells.
He mentioned though that their biggest push is to get involved with medical pot!! He said that where they see the money is at.

LOL, I should be happy but this gets me very mad. I have been supposed to be in a study similar to this, but using the good stuff - embryonic stem cells, I have been waiting for the last two years. BUT, the researcher is having trouble getting the money in order for the university to approve the stu...

Stanford researchers are seeing stunning results from injecting stem cells into the brains of stroke victims. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/06/02/stanford-researchers-stunned-by-stem-cell-experiment-that-helped-stroke-patient-walk/ LOL, I should be happy but this gets me...

There is a big difference in a foot vs arm. The foot is what's causing my trips and falls. The foot is stopping me from so many little things like walking in/out of the house through our sliding door (with a small threshold), and other annoying issues. Really upsets me I can't even climb in to my fr...

-I can't use the walkaide as it relies on a somewhat 'normal' gait which I don't have. It depends on the angle of the lower leg to determine when to 'fire'.
-fyi Bioness has a stimulator for the upper leg as an addon to the drop stim, but that isn't my problem.

Funny timing, just watching the news here (I am in NY) and there were stories about new studies on niacin -
Here is one I found on the internet -

thanks!

I agree with you about in the house, but unfortunately we have berber carpet, which my wife loves but I hate as it is very rough on my foot when I drag it. It's also a very long lasting carpet that I can't afford to rip out! When my foot gets sore from the carpet I wear a pair of moccasains that are...

No, I don't think over the edge. As I said I have been thinking of this for years. And I might be a cowboy, but you are def a dreamer if you think something in our lifetimes will 'fix this mess'! Our damage is permanent unless we those pesky stem cells do work for us someday..... LOL, don't mean any...

As I sit here with my sore back due to always dragging my foot around I have been wondering if I would be better off with an artificial foot! I have the Bioness l300 which helps when I do have shoes on, but it doesn't totally work. I am just so tired of this foot always being in the way... A few yea...

I've been waiting for two years for the anti-lingo phase 2 study to start, phase 1 seemed very promising and I probably had a spot in the phase 2 study. My doctor and I were very enthusiastic about it, and he was going to lead a local study center. Found out last week that it looks like the 'entire'...

That presentation is 3 years old, it must not have been great news or more would have been said by now.

Looking for a foot sensor for a Bioness L300. If anyone has an extra one they don't need please PM me!
Thanks
