Thanks for the responses... Bob, I did end up going to the local fire dept. (1/2 mile down the road) after my blood pressure hit 167/106 with a resting pulse of 186. I know my "epissodes" must have scared the sh!t out of the wife. I hate for her to see me that way. At anyrate, things are b...

My husband and I found out he has M S two years ago. He has been on rebif and he had these spells just every 3 to 4 months apart but he had a bad one yesterday and what happens is he starts with very bad muscle cramps and spikes a fever and so he is shaken very bad and makes no scence when he is tel...

While I did not watch the video (its bedtime) I wanted to respond to you. I cath to the tune of about 240 times a month. At first it's very painful....In your mind. But, once you get over the SHOCK of cathing, you realize that theres nothing to it. During work hours (10 hours) I cath maybe 3 times. ...

Sorry to hear that Gurl! Hope everything turns out okay for ya!

Exactly. My neuro, "Dr. "K" " usually gives me a test like that on my visits. It has to do with attention and memory. In my opinion, that is a thorough doctor. He also gives me strength tests ect....

I have missed doses a time or two....
That being said, I am on Rebif.
I feel now that if you miss a dose, then continue on with regular doses, your body will ley you know!

My low sex drive we think, is caused by the medication I take; Celexa??

BTW..... I have extreme morphine allergy as well.

I read where there is a higher risk of exacerbation in MS patients with general anesthesia and put off these procedures a long time for that reason. I have read the same thing. However, being a veteran in the number of surgeries.......Argh.... I havent had any problems? I think it wouldnt hurt to g...

I just read this thread from the begining. I read this statement, and I think these words are brilliant and say alot. I would like to borrow these words for my signature!

I have been on Rebif for 2 years without any side effects....with this note: No side effects as long as I stayed regular on my injections. If I miss just one, say, on friday, and started back again on monday: it throws my body for a loop. It is an automatic 102.5 fever for three days, and just plain...

I started about a month ago keeping a journal of symptoms Welcome Lisa! In my opinion, there are several conditions in wich those symptom may occur... Have you had any MRI's or an LP? Since your doctor mentioned MS, I would hope that he/she is lining up some MRI's and/or a lumbar puncture. That wou...

Is taking a desk job an option? Dispatching? I know it's not the same and probably won't pay as much but it's something. And it'll definitely give your body a break, and probably your mind. Unfortunaately that may be an option. About a 14.00 an hour pay cut, and instead of retireing in 4 more years...

Heck, I have just about givin up. My problem is, I have NO sexual feelings at all. It has caused tremendous problems in our marriage.
