This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

10 years ago I realized that when I took a deep breath I would feel a tingle in my fingertips. I questioned whether there was a circulation issue. Now that I am much more disabled, if I take a deep breath or yawn, I have a boost of energy. For example, when I am typing and very weak, the delete butt...

wow. interesting timing.

Hello cece, Dr. Sclafani worked on me for three hours and he said that he couldn't do it all in one sitting, that I would have to come back in a few months or would be too much work at once. most of what we talked about during the procedure is a blurr now. I have to review my records and unfortunate...

Dearest dearest Holly,

Thank you for being the organizer and the gatekeeper for my work with Dr. Sclafani. May all the wonderful contributions that you made to us come back to you triple fold. Fondly, aliyah

OMG! that's fabulous!

your happiness is contagious!

I went in the beginning of February. it was also not a secret. I wish I could have taken notes, but I couldn't. I heard words like elastic recoil, but I frankly don't remember where that was referring to. Perhaps the azygos. I remember of valve giving Dr. S problems in my azygos and I remember him s...

CeCe, i could ditto pretty much your whole story, except i heard about Dr S. from Marc, instead of Bestadmom. I go to brooklyn for a much needed follow up and more complete treatment in 4 days and a snow storm is expected in 3 days. Oh dear. So glad after all this time, we are finally being treated ...

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy w/c dance.

That is way too much pressure for any human. Remember, you are merely an instrument.

And we patients have much skill in selecting our instruments.

I am settling for lovenox at $700 with Medicare without prescription drug coverage–out of pocket. Just for people's information.

does anybody know the mailing address for holly and dr sclafani? thanks.

nevermind. i have it.
