Hello Sarah, Thanks for your reply. The ANA was to check out other possible auto-immune problems. I mentioned to my neuro that I had a lot of morning stiffness and fatigue and generally felt much better later in the day (not typical for MS). Also, my Dad has recently been dx with Sjogren's. She thou...

copaxone with abx and other questions
I think this has already been addressed, but just to clarify: is there any reason the abx protocol can't be intiated while also on copaxone? Are there any contraindications or other reasons why this would not be advisable? A little background: I was dx in Dec. '03 at age 34 (but had symptoms at leas...

copaxone and pregnancy
Hi. I was on copaxone and wanting to get pregnant. My neuro said absolutely not and wanted me off it for three months before trying. But the drug-rep people at copaxone were very helpful and sent me info they have showing little to no risks (you may have already recieved it). Also, my ob sent me for...

Certainly be tested and get the whole panel not just the antigliadin antibody test ( which many doctors will do as a first pass test) esp in the US where diagnosis of this is terrible), you need to know about the feedback on the antitissue transglutaminase. Marie, Could you state specifically what ...

Thank you so much for your QUICK and thoughtful responses! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your compassion and expertise. The odd thing about the zithromax was the twitching and other mild but unusual (for me) symptoms I had before the onset of the numbness, etc. Most of my relapse symptoms a...

zithromax?
I see posted that the current protocol for CPn eradication from Vanderbilt, released by Dr. Charles Stratton for compassionate use, recommends the use of Amoxicllin, Zithromax (azithromycin), and Rifampin, with pulses of Flagyl (metronidazole).

Lap, I no so little about this disease compared to many of the other immensely knowledgable people in this forum. However, you mentioned she improved during her pregnancies -- I don't know how much, but I wonder if there is anyone (MD) who might explore the hormone link with her. You might investiga...

Cathy, I still have a three month supply in my kitchen cabinet....(no one asked for it back when I dropped out of the study). I suppose I could just take it for awhile, and in fact I did for a week in July. It makes me a little woozy, but I believe that would go away if I took it long enough (back i...

Hi: For what it's worth, I was (briefly) in a study pairing minocyline and avonex. I had to drop out as I did not tolerate the avonex. I recently visited with my doctor and he mentioned a study with minocycline and copoxone going on in Canada right now. He said he suspects the minocycline could stan...
