Have just read this post with your comment about not being able to do yoga because of balance problems. I have been doing restorative yoga for the last year and it has helped a lot. My balance is also bad and legs do not always cooperate but find this yoga helps. Also swim once a week, as often as I...

Would this be for ones not dx? I'm 57 and my age seems to be the reason they cannot dx. Seems the brain can have lesions as we get older and no way to tell if MS. I have 2 so not enough and no change in 6 months. My body has more symptoms and it does seem like MS to me. Neuro did rule out a lot of t...

I have not posted very much but have read and learned through the last few months. In answer to "why me", why not? Most everyone goes through life with some sort of challenge or challenges. When one says they would rather have cancer, I have a non invasive cancer and live with the chance o...

neuro apt

Hi Sharon. Thank you for the info. I looked at the two sites and was interested to see the one about late onset of MS. Maybe not that unusual. I had seen my family Dr. before the Neuro Dr. so knew the last MRI had not changed and inconclusive for MS. The Neuro checked me for any changes in reflexes ...

Thank you for your post Sharon. Will look into alpha lipoc acid. I have a non invasive breast cancer, LCIS, which is estrogen positive so will not be taking estrogen in case it could change the cancer. Have had the things you mentioned ruled out for the cause but not sure what else the neuro is look...

Hi. My name is Linda and I am not dx but hope to have some answers the end of the month after my second MRI of my brain. 2 lesions showed 6 months ago but inconclusive for MS. I'm 57 and this seems to be a problem for diagnosing, lesions could be my ageing brain. Oh well, guess we all go through tha...
