This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Nectar americanus. They seem to have the most scientific evidence to support them, and on a more practicle level they're the only option available right now from Jasper Lawrence and AIT :wink: I happy that they do at least have that part of their business up and runnung again, otherwise I'd likely b...

On this thread, I plan to give updates on how I'm doing in regards to helminthic therapy. I'll be starting treatment in about a week. With this treatment, I hope to put my RRMS into full remission. I was diagnosed in Feb. 09, and since that time I've had 3 attacks. I don't use any of the CRAB drugs,...

tashenoir, I hope the treatment gives you positive results too. I may go and take a looksie into your and Michelle's blogs. Thanks!

I can't say I'm without reservations myself, for instance: Wiping out the immune system would effectivly wipe out any immunities developed during one's life. You're basicaly deleting everything on the hard drive and starting from scratch. Without a doubt, there would be unforseen consequences from t...

Long, long ago (about a year actually), before the discovery of CCSVI, this seemed like it was the most hopeful thing on the horizon for sufferers of MS. < shortened url > This was one of the first things I had looked at after my dx. I had personally decided not to persue being part of these trials,...

I don't think anyone really knows the answer to that yet. There's been some suggestion that stenosis can come and go, possibly playing into the relapsing-remitting pattern that we see, but franky, it's still way to early in the game to know these sorts of things.

This is a question I've been wondering about ever since my last relapse(s) back in August-September-October. When I described it to my neuro in October, he defined it as one, but he never really gave me the chance to describe it in full, so I'm not sure how confident I am in his determination. The c...

Yeah, I'm definetly not sure on the details of the study, and I surely wouldn't think anyone should take that much D without the close supervision of a physician. I'm sure the subjects of this study are being monitored very closely for any signs of complication. On the other hand, the more the medic...

I just came across this article, some may find it interesting: http://autoimmunedisease.suite101.com/article.cfm/vasculitis_update In short, it's on vasculitis, or a swelling of the blood vessles. The parts I found to be most interesting were the sections where it talked about it's connection to aut...

Sorry, I'm afraid not. So far, I havn't found anything searching the internet. I'll ask my doctor more about it next time I see him.

First, I should state that this in not coming from my nero (namely because I don't have one :wink: ) The doctor who's been treating me is both an MD and a naturopath and has beem most helpful in giving me good advice in regards to my MS. He's very big on vitamin D, not just for MS patients. The late...

Two of the greatest sucess storys I know of involved physical thearapy. Both involved a lot weight training, as a matter of fact. One story, that I heard second hand from a friend, was about his friend from high school, who went from a wheelchair, to walikng unassisted. I was told that he did it wit...

Do stenoses come and go? If they do, they might not always show up on a scan. If it is congenital how come the 90% blockage disappeared? Are they more an inflammatory reaction since they might not be permanent? That last sentance has got me thinking. Before I learned of CCVIS, I had been persuing t...

Researchers find further evidence linking Epstein-Barr virus and risk of multiple sclerosis First long-term study among individuals not infected with EBV suggests EBV infection likely to be a cause of MS, not a consequence. I guess that just helps confirm the common sense deduction that EB somehow ...

Some do take that much. Some pay for their own doctors assessment while others have you pay for it. It may be where the difference lies but either way, 25% isn't that much considering you will be ok for life. As I understand it, there is a reevaluation every 3 years, where you would need to hire a ...
