Any help suggestions on what to do for vertigo? I have no primary care provider but when I did have one and asked what to do for vertigo many years ago I was told to sit on my bed and lie back hard onto the mattress several times to dislodge crytals in my ears. Not sure if it worked but it made me f...

:sad: Tomorrow is one year to the date that I was diagnosed with SPMS - I'm still without a primary care provider so it's been a year of hell going to walk in clinics and not knowing where to go or what to do for advice other than online forums. Where I live in Canada primary care physicians are sca...

I howled when I saw this post as it took me back to when I asked my neuro (one of the top MS neuros in BC) about CCSVI.
He said quite simply "CCSVI is a cash grab"
I decided then and there that I wouldn't be asking him any other questions as he also told me marijuana will just rot my brain.

MS clinic neuros are among the most conservative neuros on earth. They often wear very larg blindfolds which inhibits their thinking. What you have to find is a neuro who is involved with a pain clinic like we did in London, Canada. This guy actually researched MJ and pain and prescribed Sativex fo...

I'm with "shaight" Just legalize it already! It's available here in Canada with a doctor's prescription (but there's the fun of finging a GP who is willing) and then a lengthy dance with Health Canada and the RCMP . It takes eight to ten weeks someties more for the paperwork to be filed an...

I was diagnosed last September at age 61 with secondary progressive and have tried maintain a healthy diet since but not anything paticularly exclusionary like a Best Bet diet as well as taking supplements. In the past 8 months I haven't noticed my condition to be any worse than when I was diagnosed...

Good on them - this drug kills.

claims misleadingly broaden the indication and overstate the efficacy of Copaxone by implying that Copaxone reverses patients’ disability and enables them to lead an active lifestyle, return to work, accomplish great athletic feats, and “live the life they’ve dreamed. This type of claim is purely e...

I'm about half way there to being allowed to legally possess MM in Canada.
The big hurdle was finding a GP willing to fill out the health canada forms and with that done the rest appears tp be relativley straight forward.
All this spells relief for me and reliable from pain, insomnia and spasticity.

Got it!
CHMM forms filled out & signed by GP now all to do is get DG to fill out their part, submit the whole thing & I'm good to go.
So it is doable - just requires persistence.

It's all very nice, fine & helpful but they're acting & talking like this is all new stuff...I don't get it!

Did anyone's parents have cold sores too?

Yes my mom got cold sores and shingles as well and I wonder about MS as she had some rather curious symptoms that appeared late in life but these were really overlooked as she was battling breast cancer then and that was really front & centre.

Oh yes I used to get cold sores (massive ones)for about 30 years and just in the past few years they've stopped and I had chicken pox and I've also gotten shingles......Hmmm the herpes plot thickens.

Cannabis4MSinBC I wonder what that neuro would say if a patient suggested they were going to drink poppy head tea as a method of pain management, sipping those steamy opiates rather than popping a condensed pill. Exactly! Similar thoughts occurred to me as that neuro ranted on about brain rot but I ...

Cannabis4MSinBC Most likely that they're just afraid to alienate the pharmaceutical companies that pay them off so well. What else would have intelligent people burying their heads in the sand?
