This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I went with copax, mainly because of the "flu-like" symptoms of the others. Whatever you choose, don't make a decision based on relatively uncommon side effects like th "attck" you write about. Of course they are probably awful, but remember, there are many people taking the drug...

My opinion is that your child, when born needs that blood. The cord should be kept attached as long as possible for he/she to get as much of it as possible.

I am not sure, but I don't think the banked cord blood has ever been used for anything, but I could be wrong.

and doesn't that lean toward the vascular angle!

no diagnosis of migraines, but have had them for years. classic migraine with the visual aura and then nasty one-sided headache. I always put those in the same annoying bucket as MS.

note that the three lactobacillli used in the test were very specific strains of the three used--so getting the vitacost, or any, blend on the market will in all probablility NOT include the strains used, unless specified. You could contact the various companies compounding the probiotics to see if...

I've been going 3 to 4 times a month for the past 12 months or so. I also do the traditional herbs as prescribed by my practitioner (2x a day). I have to say I find it very helpful - the more I go, the more it helps. Our condition is a harsh one, so any change is incremental which is why the herbs a...

I see that Vitacost has a formula called ''NSI Probiotic 15-35'' that looks good as i'll probably purchase that as a start. Note: i wanted to say that i improperly stated in my earlier post that IL-10 raises inflammation as i mean't to state that it clamps down on the pro inflammatory Cytokines and...

this is great. thanks. I'm scouring the web looking for a formula with all three. It seems the L. plantarum is rarely defined as to which one it is.

If anyone finds one, please post! and I will do the same.

this makes me want to scream!!!!!!!!

thank you for that!!!!! It is something I need to remember more often.

Wendigo - I'm thinking good thoughts for you. Once thing I like is meditation. It is free and quite effective. The connecting breath meditation has done wonders for me at times. Remember, just do what is comfortable to do without strain: * sit with back straight or lie down with arms at your side * ...

LA- My experience has been if medicine is showing that you did not go deep enough. I would be careful with the suggestion to set it to 8 - given that you are around 5.75 or so right now. Go too deep and you will hit a muscle and that is where the pain is not a sting but a PUNCH.I go between 5 and 5....

it depends on how much fat you have on your legs. I am not a large man now am I a skinny man and I still use 5.5 to 5.75 on the legs. I extend my legs out so the skin is not tight. But I too only shoot the top half of the thigh, anythign below that bled a lot and I could not get the adjustment right...
