Hello. I have a question. I was having thyroid issues, my TSH level was at an 11 so I started Levothyroxine. I had a horrible bout of vertigo two weeks after I started. Then it slowly got better to the point where I was only dizzy while standing in one place for a while. My doctor said that this was...

Hello, I have read some interesting information on probiotics. Has anyone at one point taken probiotics for their MS and had a positive result? I have read some posts about negative results. I have never taken probiotics, but am considering it. Scientific articles give me a headache, but from what I...

HarryZ,

I am sorry about your wife. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I appreciate it.

I have been examined by MS doctors many times over the years. I have noticed lately that I do not fully recover from exacerbations and that some symptoms like the leg thing don't act like a regular exacerbation. They are kind of like a constant that fluxuates. I am not very familiar with more progre...

Hello, I have a question for you about MS symptoms and stages. I have had MS for more than 14 years now and my legs always seem to feel weak and clammy/cold. I use to have exacerbations that were well defined and then got better after about 3 months. The symptoms I have now seem to get a little bit ...

I have done a lot of research on the internet lately preparing for my upcoming doctor appointment. I was reading about Nanoparticles and was wondering what thoughts you all have about this. Maybe I'm just overly hopeful, but it looks more promising than other things I have read. Here are some links....

Hi, I have a question for you. How can anyone possibly tell if a disease modifying drug is preventing relapses if no one really knows how MS works, everyone's MS is different and it is impossible to predict when and how often you will have a relapse? How can studies possibly test this? Even if you a...

Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it!

I take a generic version of Women's Centrum under 50.

I take 1 tsp cod liver oil, 1,000 IU D3, and one Women's Daily Vitamin plus all my other supplements each day. I had my vitamin D levels tested in December and they were low. I have not had them retested yet. I was going to have them retested at my doctor appointment in July. I am not having an exac...

I take supplements (cod liver oil, curcumin, milk thistle, green tea extract, multivitamin, vitamin d3). I do not have any sort of oil regimen yet. I was reading up on it and trying to figure out which ones may work best. I am going to order some less expensive oils on amazon.com. I think I will try...

Hello everyone, I feel like this is a silly question. A lady at my work today has started selling natural oils. She gave me a web site to go to that told me what "oils" would be good for MS. On her website a bottle of Frankincense oil is almost $100. So I looked on Amazon.com and found the...

Hello, I have quite a bit of pressure from my doctor to take Tecfidera. I was told about all the "mild side effects". From what I have read about the side effects I am not sure that I would still be able to function at work or anywhere else for that matter. Has anyone started taking this m...

I have a question. About 6 months ago I started to have a very dry mouth. It felt like I had cotton under my tongue. My saliva glands (I think they are called parotid glands) were noticeably larger than they usually are. I was seen by my dentist and he said that this was normal. Then all of a sudden...

I would like to thank everyone for their responses to my question.
