This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Can anyone explain what the scientific theory is behind this? Why this would have an effect on MS?

Sarcoidosis? No idea, my doctor just throws that word at me a lot

It is not my place to judge the hearts of others as pathetic or virtuous. I was merely offering a view. It is impossible to know what will be in my or my loved ones heart(s) when/if this time comes for me, or the same if this happened to someone I know. This is one of the most difficult things a per...

In my view, it is not that your sister is not as good as a dog or cat... it is the exact opposite. She is much more precious. We may be content to say goodbye to our pets who we also love dearly. But it is something different entirely to lose a sibling, child, parent, etc. It's no secret that the ma...

Didn't this thing bomb the last trial?

However it also seems like these tidbits have been coming out for years now with nothing to show for it and the current DMD's are que...

I thought laquinimod had been suspended for failing to surpass placebo results.

Its so hard to have any faith in any of these jackals...

Yup, I've had it. Actually, earlier in life I had a botched wisdom tooth operation that slashed a nerve and half my tongue has been numb since then anyway, so it was tough to pin down. Truthfully, it went away in about a week for me. It was right at Thanksgiving last year so I had quite an annoying ...

I have so many questions for you... I've tried to answer them myself the best I can by searching the Internet, but it only got me so far. I'm wondering if you lovely people can help with the rest. To clarify, I am not diagnosed with MS, but fear I have it.... anyways... -I have been having bouts of ...

Thanks for the response... I have a ton of questions to ask. When I get some free time I'm gonna drop a bomb of queries on you lovely folks.
