This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Has anyone had experience with Oral Systemic Balance? It's a patented oral orthotic developed by a dentist in Tacoma Washington that, according to some anecdotes, has been effective in treating MS symptoms.

Like others, I had tears of joy. I am thrilled and hopeful once again.

However, I can't find the original announcement from Dr. Sclafani. Where should I look?

JJ, I wish I could definitely answer your questions. If I were on the Interferons or thinking about them, I would most definitely pursue this. It sounds like the blood test is available although it also sounds like Teva is still developing a test. If your neuro isn't helpful, I would get in touch wi...

JJ, I only know what I posted from Bloomberg News. From what I read there, it's available. If I were you I would bring this to my neurologist and ask for the test. See what he/she says. I'm on Tysabri, so this doesn't affect me. But I'll bring the paper tomorrow when I go for my infusion and leave i...

Can you post the site that explains their procedure, please.

Thanks.

Is Georgetown accepting patients for TESTING AND TREATMENT? Or just testing?

I called last month but have not heard from them.

A simple blood test is now available to predict who will and who will not benefit by using Interferons. No more guess work. No more trying to figure out will it work for me, which one will work, is it working or not. Ask your neurologist about this. The underlines are mine. It's pretty extraordinary...

Can the webcast be accessed at any time or must we view it live?

Questions about the study comparing MRV, DS & SV that eric posted: What is PPV? What is NPV? Sensitivity? Specificity? Accuracy? It looks like it's a waste of money to get an MRV. Yet, Dake went from MRV directly to venography and treatment. MRVs are expensive and from this very small study poss...

Cheer,

What does that mean, "nevermind". You said what needs to be said. What's with "nevermind".

I'm so glad someone posted this cartoon. I have it on my frig. This isn't even just Pharma, these are the little researchers on grants. Pharma, researchers, neuros. The list grows. I love it!!

I should add that when I went off Tysabri the first time, there was no rebound effect on MRI, only in my disability. I haven't had an MRI yet for this "holiday".

I can't say anything about the science of the rebound effect. I can only relate to you my single experience. I was on Tysabri for 12 months, went on "drug holiday" at neuro's insistence, felt great for 3 months, had an exacerbation in 4th month (not too bad), went back on after 6 months. I...
