This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi all, As many of you have noticed, one of our community members has stepped up recently to help moderate our forums. That member is NHE, and I want to formally introduce and thank NHE for his efforts. NHE has been with us since late 2004 (has it been that long already?!), and has always been willi...

this project has always stalled simply because we haven't had the resources to design a t-shirt we'd be proud of. Anyone up for the challenge? The coolest one we had in mind is to have This is MS written in the same font as the movie: This is Spinal Tap (the inspiration for the name of the site!) ht...

nice find!

lollipop-- what medications have you tried before Tysabri? What is your MS history? It is very frustrating that Tysabri does not seem to be working for you (yet?!), but perhaps it is helpful to figure out what elements might make it work in some individuals and not others.

In the case of IBD, at least, the worms used are pig (and exclusively pig) whipworms. They cannot complete their lifecycle and replicate in a human host-- and so there is no appreciable risk of them beginning to breed on their own. [/b]

just wanted to cheer you guys on. Connecting these dots is exceedingly difficult-- and we owe a debt of gratitude to those that put in the time and energy to try and figure out what seems to be a highly complex condition. Keep going... you may be just around the corner, or you may already be there.....

agate, I poked in on your other thread, but wanted to issue another warm welcome. Thanks for joining us!

Hi Jill, glad you came "home" again-- so happy to see around again. As you can tell, lots of new information here in the time you've been gone. The fight continues and the This is MS community should be very proud of their inroads.

Hi Matt, welcome! My question is what Sharon said... it helps us to support you if we know where you are in terms of diagnosis, etc.

Glad to have you with us in any case.

Hi PJ, so glad you decided to take the plunge and join us. We're thrilled to have you with us.

hi agate, Welcome! I see you've already discovered it, but we have a forum dedicated to "more experienced" patients :) You are most definitely not "in the way" here! Anyone wanting to find out more about MS is welcome here. Our belief is that knowledge is empowering, and engender...

hi sh8un, you can 'hide' your online status using the "profile" link... and it's someone/people using that feature

If this bears out, it is right in our sweetspot-- a cheap, easy to acquire supplement that has a direct impact on the disease, in this case, prevention. Not sure who exactly will be able to confirm the results of a 7 million person study, but we should issue the refrain: "If further studies con...

Hi Kamy, welcome to the community!

Welcome. As I'm sure you've gathered, we prioritize knowledge-sharing here because we're determined not to just carry along with MS in our lives, but to find ways to DESTROY it >:) That goal, though of course still in the future, impassions many members of this incredible community and we're glad to...
