This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi, Can you provide us with a bit more colour about his diagnosis, what the people treating him say, what tests he has had and what ones are unusual? As he is young can you detail what his history has been? Regards Hi, Scott. My son was 14 when he had Ataxia and balance problems. I am a Firefighter...

Hi.......My son has been taking B-12 shots for approximately 2 months prior also. Haven't had a b-12 test.

He has been taking protandim, d-3 5,000 iu a day and the b-12 shot 5mg once a week.

Hi, I have a 18 almost 19 year old son diagnosed with MS at the age of 14. He has not had any issues until a week ago Sunday. Went to the Hospital on Sunday and started the IV Solumedrol. He presented with numbness of the left arm and leg and balance issues "Ataxia". He received 1,000mcg f...

I agree, lets not be closed minded anymore. The majority of Humans seem tolerant with all the change going on in the world except the Neurological Community. Hopefully that is changing as well "I have HOPE". Maybe the Neurological closed mindless will change when the Old Guard goes out and...

Hi, Sorry about your diagnosis. I have a 17 year old son that has ms. He had his first episode at the age of 14, Nystagmus and balance issues. Was in the hospital for 6 days on solumedrol. The Nuero told me that it might be ADEM (ACUTE DISSEMINATED ENCEPHALOMEYELITIS) or MS. I went home and hit the ...

Still here, read it every day. Learning every day also.

Great news. Glad your results were positive, and I also hope it lasts.

The Radiology facility in Ft. Myers didn't send the cd of the MRI just the written report (very upset) to Tampa. So don't know like you Rhonda if they are old or new. He was positive about CCSVI but wouldn't elobarate. We talked about the DMD's and I told him we would like to try a strict diet and s...

Wish you a speedy recovery. It would be interesting to know if the leision is new or not, and if it responds to the procedure. Best of luck. Jimmy.

Best of Luck .

Just got my sons MRI report. He had 2 previous MRI's that were stable in the last year and a half. The current MRI shows 2 new leisions Predominately right frontal,not actively enhancing and not hyperacute. Have a appt. with Nuero at U.S.F. in Tampa on Thursday. He has not had any relapses that I ha...

I'm a firefighter, I dont have MS but have a 15 almost 16 year old son that was diagnosed with MS. If I can help dont hesitate to ask. Or if you want to just talk. Take care. Jimmy.

Merry Christmas CeCe!!!!! And everybody on this site. Have a wonderful and safe Holiday.

Thank's CeCe. I thought their were more children involved in the study. Had a appt. in March with our Nuero in Tampa at USF (Very involved with CCSVI). My son's recent MRI showed no new enhancing leisions and old leisions were barely noticable. He has had no issues since his first attack (very happy...
