Thank you so much :) I know you've been here since I first posted :) I will always remember to update everyone on how my mommy is doing.

Those are now healed an...

I'm really sorry for what I'm about to tell everyone right now. Last night my mother had a very bad relapse and she wasn't responding to us at all. She also had burns all down her torso and her legs and she was wheezing very badly.. I thought I was going to lose her last night and I told her as I wa...

Thanks all, Even though she is "newly diagnosed" the thing is that she has had it for a REALLY long time and they just never looked for it, it's not like she started feeling odd, went to the doctor and then found out she had MS. She has been getting worse over the last 9 years and now she ...

Thank you all so much for the super helpful advice :) My fiancé and I bought a book today called "The Everything Health Guide To Multiple Sclerosis-Margot Russell with Allen C. Bowling,M.D,Ph.D" and I have been reading it since we got home, I am going to take it over to my grandmothers hou...

Thanks for all of the advice thus far, I will definitely look into the stuff you suggested, I forgot to mention in my post that she CANNOT have any kind of surgery, not even a lumbar puncture because she has extremely thin blood and is on Kumadin (spelling?). She can bleed for hours from a tiny pape...
