Re: Biotene - diahrea?

I am a member of the facebook for Biotin & spasticity seems to be a very common side effect. I also have this normally as a MS side effect so I was frustrated when it got worse after the biotin. I can say mine has lessened some after 3 mos. on it. So many of us have positive results on bladder i...

Re: VITAMIN B7 FOR PMS

Hi Seeva. I can't open the website. Says page not found. I'm interested in reading it since I will be starting Biotin soon. My neuro didn't object but didn't no anything about the study but then he's not a MS specialist. Thanks.

Re: Too expensive

I will be losing my private insurance & will be going with a plan where medicare d is used for prescriptions. They have terrible coverage for ampyra. Does anyone know the requirements for ampyra assistance when on medicare d & not private insurance?

Re: Shingles Vaccine ???

Re: Influenza Vaccination?

I have asked numerous times & my neurologist has told me it's perfectly fine to get the flu shot. I am a firm believer in it this year for sure as my 30 yr. old niece is comatose & in critical condition with pnemonia after contracting influenza a. So sad to see.
