This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi gang, I'm wondering what the take on affecting MS by modifying your diet is? My sister, who is big on natural cures and such, gave me a copy of a book (Healing Multiple Sclerosis) by Ann Boroch that claims MS is caused by overgrowth of Candida albicans in the gut. She also claims that by modifing...

Hi Laura, I know what you mean about having days when the thought process isn't what it used to be. For me, it seems to be associated with not getting enough rest/sleep, which means I really have to get 8 hours a night to keep the fatigue and the "brain fog" that usually accompanies it to ...

Hi Terry,

Welcome to the site. You'll find lots of info and interesting people also. And a lot of humor as well.

Hi Punchy,

Sounds like you and I have similar stories. My onset was really fast, happened last January, had vertigo, ON, numbness on the left side, and I now take rebif.

How's the rebif treating you?

The flu -like symptoms should pass. I've been on Rebif for about 9 months total and mine have finally subsided. I have had feelings of anxiety, but not depression. Definately talk with your doctor about that. The nurse with MS Lifelines suggested taking the injection earlier in the evening, say 6 or...

Hi Kiizen, Nice to hear from you. This is a great site for sharing your experience, thoughts, and feelings. Don't worry about the length of your post, my first one was a lot longer. I wanted to say something to you about Rebif. The flu like symptoms are tough, but they should pass with time. I've be...

Hi Guys, Sorry it has taken me this long to get back with you. NHE, the eyeballs are definately creepy. I was thinking along the lines of a spoof of the old Regan era anti-drug ads, This is my Brain, This is my Brain on MS. With a little Photoshop magic it wouldn't be to difficult. I'm really lucky ...

AllyB, Thanks so much for the details on were you live. And the picture of you and your boys. It's really makes this site so much more human, not just an electornic message board. I really appreaciate you sharing. And oh ya, those two boys look like a real hand full. I never had kids myself, my sist...

Hi Laura, Welcome to the site. I'm still kinda new here myself but so far the responses have been supportive, informative, and good natured. Feel free to ask or tell anything. People here seem to be open to just about anything. I'm RRMS myself, diagnosed January 2007, on Rebif. My neuro told me I ha...

Ok guys, First, spelunking is not a sexual position, although one could certianly have sex while speluking. Or as it is otherwise known, caving - crawling around in holes underground. It is fun (actually they both are!) but in the case of caving, I speak from a professional point of view as I am a g...

Hi,

I've been on Rebif since February 2 of this year when I started the titration pack, so I guess I've been on the full 44mg dose for about six months. I have noticed some hair loss beyond what I would normally expect when washing my hair. Also, hair seems to grow slower than it used to.

Thanks for the encouragement Lew, AllyB and Chris - lookin' forward to conversing with you in the future.

Have a great day!

Jack.

Hello Everyone, It has taken me about eight months to trip across this site. I'm certianly glad I did. I was diagnosed with RRMS back in January and it came as quite a suprise! I hadn't had any symptoms until I woke up New Years Day with double vision, vertigo, and vomiting. Ok, I know it sounds lik...
