This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

9 month rapport: everything is so good, and my wife has been able to do quite serious gym training. Especially her legs are responding very well for training, yesterday she was doing basic squats, with nearly 60 kg:s ( 5 reps) on her shoulder and then with 50 kg x 8 reps. Last spring this kind of ex...

I just red Wahl's book "minding my mitochondrio" and it was very inspiring, intelligent, scientific and just "made sense". My wife has MS and we have followed best-bet-diet about 4 yrs now, and now we have made some changes with nutrition (cause of Wahls book). So our diet is now...

I red the whole reserch this morning and it was most interesting. I understood that Italian team made doppler and Buffalo team clinical and MRI examinations. There was some lovely brain images at the end, which showed clearly the differences with CBF.

Now over 7 months from procedure and Marja is doing so great. In fact, she is stronger than before her MS dx 8O, cause last months we have done weight exercises. I made some reading about exercising muscles, and I was very convinced that exercise is very good thing with MS. Her symptoms have been go...

Thank you Cheer, I also noticed that I drink too little H2O, so this is something important to take care of. I have noticed that some of my co-workers have waterbottle with them.. and drink water all the time. Gonna read more about this, very good tip. ps. one more point of weight training - it is h...

Also, recovery can be a two steps-ahead, one back process. Make sure to drink lots of water when lifting, to prevent hypovolemia, and don't strain or breath hold (valsalva manuever isn't great for flow.) take care-- cheer Hello Cheer, I've been reading research data about weight training and multip...

This hypovolemia is very interesting, and makes sense. Still makes me wonder about wife's good results with weight training..

My wife had her angioplasty half a year ago, with exellent results. About 3 weeks after PTA she started exercises. Firt one hour walkings, then little by little jogging, about 7 km trips. About month ago she noticed that MS symptoms came back, little by little.. and her hands/feets became cold. We d...

Today I checked some videos and began to wonder.. that what are my favourites. I decided that my top 3 list is: 1) The liberation treatment (ctv 5 document.. about year ago, 2 or 3 parts in youtube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RGBOf3Xt-A&NR=1 2) Micheal Dake's lecture, last spring (2 parts) ...

I was wondering about countries, where you have possibility to have CCSVI treatment.. I mean where and how many? For me comes to mind:

Poland
Bulgaria
Scotland
USA
Belgium
Germany
India
Mexico (?)
etc..

more?

Valsalva is normal thing when exercising with weights. For example doing squats you do valsalva naturally. This means that there will be quite a pressure in jugulars (and other veins) - which opens / widens them. There are some studies with doing resistance training with multiple sclerosis, for exam...

Some time ago I was interested of valsalva maneuver and I red papers about subject. I got the main points about what happens in veins during maneuver.. for example normally IJV:s are collapsed when standing, but they open during valsalva maneuver - big pressure opens the IJV:s. Exactly same thing bu...

Lately I've been interested many details relating cerebral out flow like; valve insuffiency, valsalva manaeuver, sinus thrombosis, intra cranial pressure, etc. My question is what are the most important similarities / differencies with CCSVI and sinus thrombosis? Of course they are different patholo...
