This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I've been power lifting for a couple years now. I make sure I load up on protein after my work outs for recovery. I also take L-Glutamine which is good for muscle recovery.

My diet is mostly primal/paleo, though I've been gluten free for several years before my diagnoses 3.5 years ago.

I took 4.5 mg's per night I obtained my LDN from OHSU (Oregon Health Science University) and Lloyd Center Pharmacy, Portland . If I know it, the filler used was don't know .

I do use ice for about 15 minutes following the injection. I'm in my second month and its still very painful. I've spoken with the Copaxone nurse, and SS several times to troubleshoot and the conclusion that it is very painful for some people. I just happen to be one of them. It can take months for ...

@Wonderfulworld - I wonder if the cream would help. I dont actually feel the needle, its the actually medicine going into that part of my body that's painful, but I guess it wont hurt to try anyway! I'm not actually that slim - just muscular/fit. Injecting in my stomach feels best so far, but I know...

This is helpful. Thank you so much. I will try manually since I will do my thigh tomorrow and don't have much of anything I can grab there (from weight training) and don't want to end up hitting a muscle.

Am I alone in this? I took my first injection on Friday and I thought I was going to die from the pain - stinging. The stinging is like being stung by a dozen bees. How about acid being poured in a open wound. Its horrible. I guess some people would its no big deal, but I guess its affects everyone ...

I think the range of prices is what confuses me the most. Go to my scheduled appointment in Poland or hold out for treatment in America hoping that my insurance will cover... Green- Before Boston Medical Center pulled the plug on CCSVI testing and Liberation, my daughter was on their list. Her insu...

Thanks for the response. I have noticed over the months that I feel great when I do it and not so energetic when I miss more than two days. It really made a difference for me.

Shoot. I can still do it cheaper out of country including airfare for 2! It's a shame I can't afford to give my money to a local doctor. I hear you, though I'm not sure how much more cheaper it will be since I am on the west coast. It would be a matter if my insurance would cover or not. If not, th...

I'm somewhat glad to know I'm not the only one in this. I too have a fear that I will go all the way over there to find out I am "fine" - in addition to the financial reasons...

I am scheduled to go to Poland in December (still haven't received an exact date and all the details yet), and I am having a lot of fear as I am getting closer to December. My fear is 100% financial. I have been on state disability for a year (just ran out) and now on SSI and dont have a clue where ...

Hi Roxanne, If you are taking Metformin, does that mean you have insulin resistance or type II diabetes? I ask because I have insulin resistance (since my late teens) and fight it everyday with diet, exercise and the lifestyle changes I had to make. I am not someone who can deal with extra weight on...

You know, I cant really do too much that has me lifting or lowering my head either. I try to stick to exercises that keeps my head level though I still to crunches...

I tried it a few times and only noticed my smaller vein popping out on my right side. Nothing significant.
