Anybody has heard from her???? thanks everyone!

even worse than decreasing blood flow, what if smoking damages brain tissue just like it does to lungs tissues? maybe that causes the immune system to try to get there and remove the toxic molecules there... I have a neighbour who litreally lost his mind from smoking too much pot... maybe his brain ...

I think this is the same flare you're having. i have noticed mine last for 3 to 4 months before starting to get better., I am sure others have noticed that too... Have you started taking any MS treatment?
I wish I was one those lucky ones who have flares for few days but I'm not...

Hi everyone
Just wondering: how many of you were smokers before their diagnosis?
Just wondering if smoke, or any toxic deposits on the brain are what triggers the so called autoimmune reaction.
I do not smoke myself but certainely has been exposed a lot it...

Oh Gingko, I will definitely try that too!! Thanks a lot everyone.

thanks to both of you! I do force myself to take a walk everyday and do some stretching to help with pain... My brain fog is not about remembering names or anything, my memory is fine but I definitely have less concentration and creativity, for example I don't feel I can write an article (let alone ...

Hi I am having a quite severe episode of brain fog these days, i am actually in a pretty bad relapse that started on August and has left me in a very very bad situation... I am still hoping to see sme improvement next month... But I hate this brain fog, it's like I am not myself anymore and totally ...

Thx a lot euphonia and NHE. I meant by "black lesions" iron deposits which seems to be correlative with sx... but what do i know... still trying to understand!!
Euphonia, I admire your humour!! keep laughing:-)

euphonia, just wondering: if your brain is full of lesions, how bad are your symptoms? I mean do you think there s a direct cause and effect between number or size of lesions and ability to function? Also, are your lesions all white, any black one? I think MS damage is mainly from black "holes&...

It could also be Myasthenia Gravis, or even Lambert eaton syndrom, since you have high WBC , it's abvious your body is fighting something, so make sure you get also evaluated for those conditions.

by the way idiopathic cranial hypertension is very well treated by a gastric bypass...yup... so maybe whatver is causing the compression is coming from the stomach... I guess research still has a long way to go....

absolutely and this is why MS is so similar to Myasthenia Gravis where muscles cannot conctract properly... However I believe it is from s defenseive mechanism, as if the body was trying to "squeeze" the damn bugs that have invaded the nerve... And then if the muscle spams enough to jerk, ...

Interesting... I guess if that is possible, everyobe wold be interested not only MS people but also Meniere's, lupus... all those who suffer from diziness...

Hi Jimmylegs, thanks for the info, I am on B2 too but I am noticing great progress... whats was your dosage and how long before seeing any benefit?
But I eep wondering about this mestinon and why neuros do not prescribe it for MS too... I guess maybe because this drug would be too cheap?:-)

Hi there
Justwondering if anyone has tried Mestinon to treat muscle weakness. It treats Myasthenia Gravis, which shares a lot of sx with MS, such as muscle weakness, and double vision...
So I wonder if it'w worth a try...
Thanks!
