I have been on Avonex since July 2004. It's now been 4.5 months on minocycline. I added roxithromycin 3 weeks ago at the same time as 3mg Low Dose Naltrexone which my doctor assured me would not react with either the Avonex or the anti-biotics. This is my update. After starting the roxithromycin and...

Hi, I have searched fairly thoroughly in the PubMed website for large trial data on valacyclovir in MS but so far have only found results from a small 2002 Danish study which to me suggested that this anti-viral treatment might be beneficial. However in the conclusion to the Danish study the authors...

Given the hypotheses that MS may have a viral cause especially the Epstein Barr virus, I am going to discuss with my doctor taking valacyclovir which is an anti-viral treatment. In a 2002 study in Denmark patients on valacyclovir showed 20% fewer lesions on average than controls. Is anybody else try...

I was intrigued by the correlation found between epilepsy and MS. I had petit mal as a child which is a mild form of epilepsy. This was treated with god knows what but I no longer have epilepsy but instead GRAND mal (MS)!! Um, anyone know how to buy desipramine on the internet?!

hi, I have also been taking 200mg of minocycline and am taking a weekly injection of avonex (doh!). I suspect the latter may be removed from the therapy quite soon but my doctor was very reluctant for me to stop the avonex initially. I think quite a few people find that the LDN is initially problema...

Hi, I started LDN (3mg) on Saturday 19 Feb 2005. I almost immediately had much greater stiffness in my right leg and hand. The spasms at night have also become worse. My temperature is also strange at night with a hot/cold shivery sensation. I believe that adverse reactions may occur for a while but...

Hi all,

I started two days ago with 3mg of LDN. I also take 200mg minocyline a day and a weekly Avonex injection. Last night was the injection and with the LDN I had the worst leg cramps I have had for months and months...

My symptoms then were transient (seconds - long) loss of motor function and sensory paresthesia in the right arm and difficulty swallowing. the fo...

I am the daughter of a mother with MS. I was born in May. I have three older brothers and one sister. Surprise surprise I have MS. I think there may be something in the hygiene theory!!

Hi, I'm not sure where the "Regimen" section is so I'm posting my results on minocycline here. I am also on Avonex. About three or four days after starting minocycline (November 2004) the nasty burning sensation in my left foot became a more bubbling sensation and is now a slight transient...
