Good stuff Heather!

MS HISTORY Melissa F 33 RRMS diagnosed 8/07 (age 31) after first serious exacerbation 8 lesions, 2x black holes, including lesion on brain stem. Program: Rebif, High Dose Chemotherapy (HiCy/Revimmune), Copaxone. MS symptoms: Fatigue, depression, emotional lability, heat intolerance, left side weakne...

Thanks guys! Marie, not yet and I know you are itching for that day to come. I'd say Mel had all her symptoms return by 12 months out. Fatigue and heat intolerance came back way before that but left sided weakness went. At the outset of HiCy, I can go back to the posts if need be (!), we said 'we wa...

Make it so Leanne!

Cheers Fernando!

Trip two was such an anticlimax!

MRI then 10 mins with Dake and we were off!

Good obviously, but we'd built it up a lot.

Good luck, hope no further surgery!

For you guys more than most I hope wonderful things.

Chris, Mel went through the same thing. In the end she abdicated all responsibility to me and said 'I'm trusting you here'. Even then, the deal was only she would go and have the scans only then decide. She'd almost decided to come back a month later. Then when Dake showed her the blockages, the mal...

Good luck Rokkit!

It's not going to be pleasant but hopefully you'll get some good relief.

Hey guitarguy, I apologised! Or I meant to. I got a bit heated the other day, for that I really am sorry. This whole thing can be emotive for all those involved. I got flashbacks to when my family was struggling to understand Mel's MS and I overhead them deriding her as 'lazy' etc when I knew what a...

Thanks!

I will, don't worry.

I'm glad I took a few days away.

it's like that old cartoon 'I can't come to bed honey, someone is WRONG on the internet!'

Onwards and upwards!!

I think you are probably right!

Have a good weekend all.

Lighten up Bob. Are you disputing those as facts? Mel wasn't working now is. Mel wasn't running now is. If those facts change I'll let you know. Just as I did with the ups and downs of HiCy. I stand by number 3 though. I nearly came to blows with my father when he called her 'lazy' in the midst of a...

I would also like to say that Mel has a bachelors in neuroscience, a masters in genetics, is a phd and researcher and is also a teaching professor at Baylor College of Medicine. Additionally she counsels women with high risk of genetic illnesses or general high risk pregnancies. To suggest that she ...

Also, Mr.Success, can I ask aliitle about you? You've made 17 posts on TIMS, all about CCSVI. Is it you with MS or someone close to you? What treatments have you/your friend/relative with MS looked at? Can you share some of your experiences with the disease? It would sure help us know where you are ...

Hey dudes, do me a favour and take this elsewhere?

Thanks.

The FACTS ARE:

1) Mel now works full time
2) Mel is now back exercising when she chooses to. (She used to run 10ks and half marathons pre-MS.)
3) Anyone who says the fatigue was in her head to my face will get punched in theirs.
