This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Scorp, you are good at headlines. I thought the study was actually going to be about CCSVI. Trying to quell the "hysteria" around CCSVI? Sounds like an emotional response and not a well thought out scientific one. That is the sort of crap that triggers an emotional response from me (makes ...

I feel better after I eat, much better. Am I the only one?

Chocolate is a better analgesic than advil. Something has to be wrong about that.

Great now I have to google GABA. :) I read entirely too much about Melatonin last night. http://www.healingtherapies.info/PinealGland2.htm That is a page talking about melatonin and upper cervical spinal cord injury. Apparently giving Melatonin to rats before you injure their spinal cord makes the i...

Apparently been discussed before

I feel better at night too. I think it isn't just an MS thing. There are morning people and night owls, so could it be a hormone balance thing?

I think Melatonin levels are night specific. I don't know if there are others? Or maybe there is a hormone that rises in the morning?

"In general, we could say that using the turmeric or using the fish oil might be equivalent to taking 200 to 400 milligrams of ibuprofen. It does vary a little from study to study what that effect actually is, but the effects are very modest," says Matteson. Diets don't have an effect on ...

In your hypothetical scenario the problem is that you think that something needs to be done about results that are different than you imagined they would be. You publish the research without tweaking and without jumping to unsupported conclusions because that is science, or what science is supposed ...

I am new to reading medical studies and as I read more I find it really funny sometimes what the people running the study conclude so decisively. One or more abnormal extracranial venous ultrasound findings were observed in 26 of 50 (52.0%) pMS patients, in 35 of 110 (31.8%) healthy controls (HCs) (...

Is paresthesia caused by lesions in the brain and spinal cord? Does the numbness come and go for anyone else? Worse when you are tense and better when rested? Better in the morning worse in the afternoon? Sometimes even completely gone for a bit? From what I understand once you have a lesion it is t...

Dr Lee has stated in his papers that the tissue involved is mesenchymal tissue. This tissue type is very responsive to certain hormones. It becomes elastic and pliant. Which hormones? Do you have links to the papers or any more info pretty please? One more thing that I notice now and I've noticed b...

I haven't seen them in a while but several years ago here at thisisms there were a few study articles we had discussed which showed that the very act of a non MS specific medical procedure can have an impact on MS, for what that's worth. I remember a while back someone posted a Parkinson's study dr...

Hmm...the Placebo pill is still a pill that has something in it? Presumably sugar? Maybe someone in the study should ask the question, could it be that sugar could help treat IBS? This ingredient is probably a binder in other pills? Maybe the inert ingredient isn't as inert as they think? Yeah it co...

If CCSVI has nothing to do with MS then why are we talking about this on ThisisMS and why is it always billed as an MS treatment? People always talk about stopping progression, shouldn't they be corrected on that, as "liberation" is only for treating fatigue, etc. and not about treating M...

What data? Zamboni is still saying there needs to be more testing to prove exactly what effect the treatment of CCSVI has on MS. I do not know why they would say something like this. This is VERY misleading. I think Zamboni says there needs to be more testing to determine whether or not CCSVI cause...

Funny NHE, that is exactly the one I was thinking of

We don't know what it does or if it will help you, but if it isn't working you should try a higher dose. It is after all, safe...
