Cece - I find it difficult to get my breath sometimes. I can't take a deep breath and can get light headed. It doesn't help my vertigo. I was sick and tired of people, including my Neuro, telling me that I was having panic attacks!! No way!! Yes - I remember being offended when a friend told me tha...

I never even thought to dream of such a thing. Doesn't that just nail it? I know I've hoped that it was all a misdiagnosis...that some drug combo would come along that would be better at slowing progression...but this?! I am still wrapping my head around it and I first heard of it a month ago. We d...

Thank you for the welcome. I remember being diagnosed and feeling like, No way, I do not have this...and now I can click around a forum like this and, in nearly every post, someone is talking about the same crazy symptoms that I'm dealing with too.

I'm in Minnesota (Twin Cities area). If anyone here has either had success or been spectacularly shot down with getting an MRV, could you pm me? I'm looking for specific interventional radiologists to either pursue or avoid.

I'm in the sore neck club. It's not constant, but it's daily, and it's localized to the right side kinda at the base of my skull. Also cold hands, cold feet.

I checked out his blog from there and, if I understood it correctly, he is a longtime opponent of angioplasty anywhere in the body. That he'd be an opponent of angioplasty in MSers is just ...

Back when I was trying for my #3, my diagnosing neurologist wanted me to stay on Copaxone for the whole pregnancy!! I was not going to do that but I did keep it up until pregnancy was confirmed. No issues with the pregnancy & he's now a healthy two-year-old. It always took me a long time to fall...

Hello! I'm Cece, from Minnesota. Four years ago I was diagnosed with RR MS. The neuros have batted my diagnosis around a bit...first RR MS, then CIS, then back to RR MS, then the idea that it's benign MS. I'm fortunate but even so the MS affects every day of my life. I'm 34 with three young children...

If it was purely vascular in origin surely older people would start developing MS as the circulation naturally gets weaker with age...whereas MS hits people when they are in their prime.[/url] gainsbourg Lots of interesting info in your post. If you have white matter lesions after the age of 60, th...
