This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I'm relocating to NYC this week and will be looking for new care provider who is highly collaborative with his/her patients (rather than just telling them what to do), who is supportive of complementary therapies, and who is part of a comprehensive clinic. I have RRMS and am on tysabri, though I'll ...

thanks to the information on this thread, I collected the supplies and started last week.

I'm hoping it will help my neuropathy. I've decided to stick it out for three months.

thanks everyone.

Thanks so much for this information.

Did either of you do the switch?

I am considering it.

It seems to me that fingolimod has a narrower method of immunosuppression than natalizumab, plus I do not want to risk PML.

I have been on LDN for about 3 months, but at first was also taking 20 mg/night of amitriptyllne, which is sedating. I'm working on getting off the amitriptyline, and am now down to 10 mg. It's been about 2 weeks on the lower dose, and I've found that the vivid dreams that started when I started the...

sure, everything helps!

yeah well that's the thing - I want off of tysabri - tested positive for JC virus, going in for infusion #7 or 8 next week... but the wormsellers say that you should stay on your treatment and slowly reduce the dose over 3 months - which makes me think they havent' dealt much if at all with tysabri,...

Do you know if there are any MS patients who have started helminth therapy while on tysabri?

Thank you for this information. I'm confused by the language - is this a good or a bad thing: "Helminth-infection control was associated with significant increase in clinical and radiological MS activities." Do they mean that controlling the infection - i.e. giving anti-parasite treatment ...

If someone had no flares or only minor flares (sensory symptoms only), and has their first or first significant flare post-partum, is there ANY data about how likely it is they would continue to have major flares vs. not have flares or have only minor ones? I am currently on tysabri, which I started...

i think the stats are something like 80% chance of postpartum flare in first 6 months, 30% if breastfeeding. I breastfed, ate healthy, all of that - and had a bad flare (for me, having only had flares with sensory symptoms before) with a lot of pain, trouble walking, weakness, tremors, swallowing pr...

hi all - thanks so much for this fascinating and informative thread. I have RRMS and am currently on tysabri (infusion #6 was yesterday)... but I want to get off in the next 6 months or so, since I have tested positive for the virus that causes PML and I don't want to risk getting it. So I've been l...
