This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks Sou
I've just started using it and it does seem to help. I just wasn't sure on the safety aspect of this as it pertains to MS. I appreciate your response.

Not to give you false hope, but when I first got MS I worked myself to a state where I was numb in those areas. I did get better over time as far as those were concerened once I learned how to live with my MS.

I talked to my doctor and a nurse today and they didn't seem to think there was a problem using this with my MS. I'm trying to address the pain from the spasticity. It seems to help

Is anyone familiar with T.E.N.S devices? The are low electric frequency devices to relieve pain and stimulate muscles. I tried one and it seems to help with the pain. My question.... are these things okay to use for PWMS?Any thoughts?

Is anyone familiar with T.E.N.S. devices. (Low frequency electric therapeutic massager) I tried one of these units and it seems to relieve some of my pain in my spastic muscles. Is this okay to use for MS? Anyone have thoughts?

I would hope that these people knew that stenting was a possibility before they went into the procedure at this specific place. Most procedures I know about, the patients are awake during the procedure. To stent or not to stent? You should be going into a proedure educated so you know the pros and c...

My doc encouraged exercise. You just want to get those muscles working that may have not been for some time. I asked him if there was anything i shouldn't be doing.

I had angioplasty on my jugulars and azygos. I was on clexane for 3 days .Plavix for 14 days after that. Aspirin for a year. Perhaps it is different if you have a stent , but that is the extent of my blood thinners.
My procedure was done not done in Poland though.

Check out this website and the conclusion of this study.

My interpretation is that as long as the veins stayed open, there was no further relapses.

I'm pretty sure your GP should have the reports from your Neuro

Johnson.... That picture or logo with the veins and the tap........That's awesome! It really caught my eye! Just my opinion.

From what I can understand, the MS Society of Calgary has known about this study for years. Why then in Calgary, who has the highest rate of MS can we not get the tests done? They say that Alberta Health Services will never cover the costs of the tests because too many Albertans have MS,so it would...

They tell you that you don't have ccsvi, but that's only with the findings they were able to notice with the tests they were able to perform.

I hate to say it , but I contacted false creek before and I wasn't getting straight forward answers to my questions. It's great that they are getting help from Simka ect , but if they have a crappy attitude about this then why are they involved?
