:D Hi AJ,

Haven't posted because I am currently at RUSH having HiCy! I am now on my first shot of neupogen. The chemo part is worst, until they get your nausea under control, then you're fine.

I will pray for you, do lots of research so you can sell it to your doctor!

HUGS

I fancy the idea of revimmune but I won't do it until I've had children as there is a risk it could cause infertility.

100% agree....can cause early menopause too!

HiCy

There is no victim....there is no winner or loser. It may ruffle feathers that when your trying to sell a treatment that has done so much for you as an individual, someone that does not have the disease your trying to cure, shoots you down. Not saying he shot him down, but it may of felt like that t...

Inversion Tables

I have one and LOVE it! I don't hang everyday, because if you have dizzy MS feeling it will make it worse. If my back feels stiff or getting sore, I hang upside down for only 10 minutes and the next day my back feels fine. I hang partway sometimes, not totally inverted. It still helps when gravity p...
