This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Yes I saw a video where Dr.Bill Code mentioned that the problem he had been having with his gums improved after his venoplasty procedure. Go figure!!! Maybe pwMS have other health problems that are in fact tied into blocked veins. I think there is still much to be studied on this topic.

I found this in the web site under www.medmerits.com I know that this drug Avandia can have some serious side effects but herhaps this `discovery` can lead the drs. in a new direction to handle neuropathy in pwMS. Well we can at least hope for now.................. Jul 26, 2011 The diabetes drug ros...

Yes if I knew at the beginning of my diagnosis what I know now just perhaps I might not be where I am today. And you are so right that we should not just blindly take these `normal` ranges from the lab as being totally accurate for us pwMS. But like I said I keep on trying to learn as much about MS ...

I have had my D-3 levels tested several times in the past 2 years of having MS but not my zinc or magnesium levels. I realize also that I have not been actually told of my readings in these tests. I have just gone by the lab reports and my dr. saying that the levels are all ` o.k.` But in the future...

You and I both suffer from painfuly neuropathy!! I actually have allodynia. No drugs help even a little with the pain in my hands and entire arms. I have tried Elavil, Gabapentin, Pregabelin, Tramacet, Percocet and Oxycontin..........and the list goes on. I am currently trying different supplements ...

Yes `Cheerleader` could you tell us what supplement Jeff is on?

I don`t think that there has been any updates since we first heard about this `tongue stimulator` that Montel Williams tried out to help with his MS symptoms. I tried e-mailing the University of Wisconsin directly as well as Montel Williams and I have never received a reply. Perhaps when Montel reve...

I agree you are definately an asset to all of us here on TIMS! I can`t thank you enough for the help you have given me with the drugs/supplements that I am taking and with helping me sort out dosages. I am currently on track with the Magnesium Glycinate. Good luck with your job search. But don`t for...

I am currently on 4000 mg. vit.d./day and the dr. has me on B-12 injections every 2 weeks for 5 months to see if that will help also. I have to date only had 3 inj. You know I don`t actually know the numbers for my vit. D levels since I am only told by my dr. that it is `o.k`. But perhaps I shall st...

The sales lady in the store made me dizzy with all of the supplements she was trying to unload on me! And all I wanted was Magnesium Glycinate!! I can remember one product with Turmeric in it, Omega 3 pills ( I already take Omega 3-6-9) but the sales clerk said that was not good and unfortunately I ...

Thank you Jimmylegs once again!!!!!!!!!!! I did find a health food store in s.e. calgary today called Morning Sun Health foods. They originally were trying to sell me Bisglycinate along with about another 30 supplements for MS symptoms. I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I want Magnesium Glycinate only!!!!!!...

Gosh I am still trying to find who sells Magnesium Glycinate in a store in Calgary, Alberta. So far it is a no go..........

OMG I still didn`t get this right yet!! So sorry Jimmylegs!!!!! Thank you for trying to steer me onto the right path again........I am going to repeat Magnesium Glycinate to myself 100 times today................

Jimmylegs---you will be ahead of me on this one since I could not find a pharmacy today that sold Magnesium Glyconate, only elemental magnesium. The pharmaist has to order it for me. The strength will be 500 mg./pill and it will take a few days to come in to the store. It is sold under the name MAGL...

`Jimmylegs` Thanks again for your input. The problem I always have with taking these supplements is what is the correct dosage for myself to take.. I am going to get magnesium glycinate today and give it another try. I have elemental magnesium at home.
