Re: SSDI
I'm so frustrated. I just got my denial letter for the Reconsideration phase. I was looking through a packet I got at an SSDI seminar I went to and it said that if you appeal again and use a lawyer, the approval rate is 61.5% nationwide. I just feel like I've been doing this for a year already and I...

Want to find out if anyone is taking a supplement
Sorry for the repeat post, but I have repeatedly tried to use the support@thisisms.com email address to ask why my message was deleted and then my account was deactivated. I find this disturbing as I thought this was supposed to be a place where we could ask genuine questions and receive genuine ans...

Re: NUCCA and CCSVI
I've been seeing a NUCCA chiropractor for about a year and did so before I was treated for CCSVI. I first heard about them from the Upright Doc's blog. Dr. Flanagan has great info on his site regarding the connection between MS (and other neurological disorders) and misalignments in the axis/atlas a...

Thanks, jimmylegs! I'm wondering if this might be the study to which she was referring: http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/news/20090428/high-doses-vitamin-d-cut-ms-relapses It's several years old, though... but it does mention the 40,000 IUs for six months and then tapering, which is what she ...

Anyone have a link for this article about Vitamin D?
I just saw my naturopath today and she said she went to an infectious disease conference recently and someone presented a study about Vitamin D, MS and a triggering infection (often EBV). I think the following info from the April 19th issue of Neurology is the article to which she's referring, but i...

Hi Blossom: Yes, sorry I forgot to add that I'm a seeing a NUCCA doc too. I'm trying to be gluten-free as well, so I thought I'd try a more natural approach for a while and get off Tysabri. We'll see how things go in September at my next MRI. Does Dr. Flanagan have his own forum here? I see him post...

Hi Blossom: I went to the Hubbard Foundation and they did the brain and functional MRIs (this is where Dr. Haacke comes in- his team analyzes all the data to determine the flow rates, etc.). I don't think I've ever had a scan of my neck. One doc said I would have it done the next time I came in (but...

Blossom, I love that someone finally mentioned hemochromatosis! I had never heard of it until I had to come off of Avonex after only 3 months. My liver enzymes were 10x normal and I was sent to a GI specialist. He tested me for everything, including this. Finally, after about 6 weeks had passed sinc...

Hey all! Thanks for the great ideas-- we ARE planning something, don't worry and a lot of your ideas are already planning to be incorporated. I'm still waiting to get the okay from the person who received the response from the National office. I'd love to post it so you can see their reasoning. Basi...

Sorry for the formatting issues! I deleted the NMSS person's name (don't know why I feel like I need to protect them!)

Denied CCSVI table at MS Walks
Hi all: I wanted to share a disturbing development from our corner of the country. I contacted our local chapter office at the beginning of the month to inquire about having a CCSVI table at the MS Walk. I was told it would be okay, but like any MS drug company, it would cost $3000 (laughing hard no...

Thanks, everyone, and Marc, I got goosebumps when I saw you responded! Your blog is THE BOMB! (is that passe'-- can't figure out how to do accents on here!). I'm doing great-- feeling good, although I guess like everyone, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and every little thing has me thinki...
