This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

You know Sou, there was some good news earlier in the month. I am (fairly) excited by the research being conducted by Dr Zhegang at the Boston Children's Hospital and Dr Smith's team at the Carleton University in Canada. Both are investigating nerve regeneration resulting from the repression of a mo...

My one took four attempts and brought on the worst relapse I ever did have. One of my worst experiences. I'd say, refuse it at the risk of missing a diagnoses of something worse than MS. If you feel you have to go through with it, ensure that whoever is performing the procedure has a great deal of e...

If Zamboni's findings are replicated I suppose that the treatment has still to be approved by the FDA and other regulatory bodies. But I don't think that it will require fast tracking since angioplasty isn't an unkown.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I founmd this interesting. I have slowly got used to having only a few hours sleep in bed. This has slowly become a habit because the longger I sleep in bed the worse my symptoms are. My body just slowly insisted that this would be the amount of sleep that I get. I...

According to the people who wrote this paper Green Tea acts to chelate iron and it tastes good too (that last bit is my opinion, not necessarily theirs).

I make music. It's one of the only things that I do now that I used to do before the MS. But, before I met my girlfriend, downloading films and watching them on a wall with a projector saved me. I have got through a list of the top hundred films of the 40's, 50's and 60's, I have watched every Russi...

Poor you. I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. I was never as bad as you but I have recovered a great deal from where I was five years ago. I had lost sensitivity to light and the centre of my visual field was completely blurred. Over three years I recovered functional vision. I still have blurrine...

sou, I know, the news is never that good ):

I really need some good news.. If I hear of any I will let you know

Baclofen was useless but Tizanadine has some effect on me.

I just received botox injections in my abductor and hamstring muscles. That was a week ago and it takes effect after one week to ten days. Nothing yet but I still have three days to go.. I'll let you know if anything happens..

Yes, newspaper articles and TV interviews don't give too much away!

Most of us will be familiar with the trials involving bone marrow derived stem cells.Here are two articles detailing an Australian man and two American men. It sounds as though all three have (had) RR, two of the men were younger, one of those was wheelchair bound. http://www.frcblog.com/2009/12/mul...

Well, it could be (a lot) better but, still, it's one of the most encouraging reports on axonal regeneration that I have seen to date.. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-12/chb-cin120809.php Coaxing injured nerve fibers to regenerate by disabling 'brakes' in the system Mouse study suggests...
