This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

On the contrary Jugular,

your initial posts refer to entities related to high altitude climbing.

WTF?

Most likely that if altitude were a contributing factor, the high altitude destinations such as Cusco, Peru (11,000ft) would have a thriving ambulatory service to accommodate the thousands of tourist visiting each year.

That isn't the case.

Bethr, The more I look into your improvement with Phlebotomy combined with.. iron overload and ccsvi, and the relief and usage of iron at altitude.. Could it really be that simple? Sometimes the solution is right under our noses and this combined knowledge of testimonials has one common contributing...

That is really interesting Bethr!

I've heard of women with ms going into remission during pregnancy and often wondered why?
Is it same?

Seriously have to investigate phlebotomy and very interested in watching your updates!

Certainly worth investigating cathyb!

Certainly sounds like punishment!.. lol I was just reading up on Leadville in Colorado. Also at 9000+ ft and most probably wheelchair friendly too. The Maui beaches within reach would be nice though. Will have a look at that. My feelings on the current data on the dangers of altitude is that it's fo...

Interesting ms testimonials at High altitudes in the topic discussion
'Altitude and blood flow'

Altitude has astonishing positive effects to ms sufferers.

Check it out.

Opera, I agree. I think the 60 minute reporter Tara Brown in particular would be the ideal person to write to as she has a good friend living at a nursing home due to ms and Tara Brown is clearly emotionally affected at seeing her good friend with her debilitating disease. Here's the link to her 60 ...

Dear Jugular, I'm uncertain if your for or against high altitude and the fantastic testimonials from ms sufferers of almost instantaneous symptom relief. Everspring has actually relocated to the high altitudes of The Rocky Mountains for the benefit of altitude and she is doing wonderful! What I'm co...

Hi all. Just received a phone call 20 mins ago from a Melbourne based Imaging clinic which I had been booked to receive an MRV at 11am tomorrow morning. Would you believe they cancelled the MRV after having booked the appointment a week ago. The receptionist said she was told to call me to make the ...

Jugular, Since my diagnosis in 2003, I've only tried copaxone for about a year (due to it having the least side effects), which didn't help at all in any way. Since then I made the decision to combat the disease without the medication being offered by my neuro as they were seemingly just suppressing...

Altitude doesn't discriminate the physiological changes in the body selecting one over the other. Logic would suggest that many factors take place at altitude and seemingly the combination of both IBT at altitude would be Awesome. Reason being .. the improvements felt by IBT at sea level occur over ...

That is interesting ForeverSpring.
Sounds inconvenient for the store owner though.

Did you experience altitude sickness initially up there in the Rocky Mountains?
If so, for how long before it passed?

I agree with you Andrew. I didn't state that repair of myelin was taking place. As the symptom improvements felt are lost at returning to sea level The multiple factors of improvement felt by ms sufferers at altitude isn't just random coincidence, nor is it just minor improvement in most cases. Ther...

Actually, the water bottle pic is caused by an increase in the atmosphere air pressure which causes this air expansion and contraction. Why do you think air expands and contracts in the first place? Atmosphere pressure. Same occurs to liquid as well as gases. The human body is about 60% water. Canno...
