I used to drink 10 diet cokes per day.... Now none, i drink water or lime flavored seltzer... If i can quit so can you Cece

should we avoid calcium suppliments? I'm lost here

I was also dx with CIS, (only one mild attack summer of 09) my nero also offered MS drugs. I decided not to take them, i have instead started a healthy lifestyle. Excercise, Swank diet, vitimans, plenty of water, inclined bed. i have had no other symptoms. My thought is even the experts know so litt...

Thanks Jimmy
that is good to know, are there others that should or shouldn't be mixed? I thought i read we should take fish oil with vit. D But not calcium with with fish oil.

are there suppliments we should NOT take at the same time that dont mix well?

My big question is why would anyone use an injectable drug if there is an oral available? not being cocky just wondering..

I have the same question... i also have a negitive LP & evoked potentials, i had a mild attack of some kind 1.5 years ago (just a little numbness in my hand and leg) that went away. I have had no other symproms since. At the time i had a MRI that showed 9 lesions. I have had 2 more MRS's since a...

Yes, she comes to all my appointments and is generally good but, I do get ticked somtimes because she gets on my case for being on the computer too much (in her opinion) but 99.9% of the time i'm doing research about MS, Lyme, Celiac, and other possibilities. Also looking at what suppliments and die...

Stabilo, I have a wife that i think appreciates me (most of the time :) What about you? I'm not an expert but i have read that steroids help the lyme bacteria to thrive and reproduce. You should do some more digging into your diagnosis. It is hard to find a Dr. to run all those different tests, your...

Jen, Thanks for the advice.... Sounds like you have a good LLMD, I'm going to keep my eye on Lyme and MS.... Right now i'm not too worried because of lack of symptoms. AND I"M VERY THANKFUL!! I have a appointment with a specialist in Milwaukee, he is going to review all my records and take a fr...

Stabilo, You are welcome!! Glad i can cheer you up. I thought i saw in another post that you are on Copaxone? My nero offered me that and i refused, i want to make 100% i actually have MS before taking anything like that. One thing you should know is that the typical treatment for a MS attack is ste...

Hi Jen, Thanks for the info. It's a tough spot to be in. The Infectious Disease doc i saw did not want to talk about lyme at all, either does the nero. or my PCP. The problem is the Lyme Dr. i saw seems a little shady, he was very quick to say it was lyme, I've had several lyme tests at different la...

Stabilo,

You are very pretty....sorry

No, i'm from the US, Wisconsin. Lyme disease is very prevalent here. I would estimate that i have had 60 deer ticks on me over the last 5 years, as far as i know only 1 bit me, but they say alot of people that get lyme disease never even saw a tick on them.

Stabilo, Is that a picture of you? wow!! :wink:

Mabe you could call Igenx labs , and they could help you find a Dr. they work with in your area
