The calcification was put down as an anomaly ? My abdominal pain has returned - started about 5 days ago and is getting worse, was on the right upper side - now centre and am feeling it in my back behind the pain in the abdomen. I guess it’s back to the doctor. ................ was there a few weeks...

I used to get migraines in my 20s, complete with vomiting, light and smell sensitivity . Then 1 day they just stopped - never diagnosed. I think my first MS symptom was at age 33 - diagnosed with MS age 38. No more migraines for now .........

thank you for the replies - it only happens the week before and during menstruation ......... I have had a 'google' and came across 'endometriosis' - and hip joint pain can be one of its symptoms .. ? I did have my iron levels checked recently and the doc said iron was normal, which is interesting b...

Just wondering if anyone else gets this - for about the last 6 months - about 1 or 2 weeks before menstruating I get really sore hips. My symptoms also seem to get a little worse around this time. My GP did an arthritis test and thank goodness its not that, I also mentioned the soreness to the neuro...

Well, Well - when I was suffering intense abdominal pain and vomiting 2 yrs ago I asked the liver specialist who I had to see after they found a small amount of calcification in my liver and also found that I was severly low in iron if I had porphyria (I wasn't discounting the ms) and he said no. I ...

Right or wrong I made an 'intuitive' decision regarding the meds. I looked at the statistics and felt that a 30% possibility of slowing disease progression + having to inject myself with a substance that would probably interfere with my quality of life (in the form of welts and flu like symptoms etc...

I guess this means horses dont get MS .............

I had my GP speak to the neuro about ccsvi and of course he's not interested in chasing it up. He said that this is an old theory retried - and, that last time nothing came of it.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll eventually be convinced - and hope that more research on ccsvi follows soon.

Hi everyone,
I'm sitting here in Australia - thinking - well, what's going on ?
I noticed from one of the other threads that one Aussie has been extremely brave and ventured to Poland to have this done.
Has anyone here in Oz talked to their neuro about this ?

Fingers crossed.

I have been doing this for 4yrs. Rice or soy flour breads are a good substitute, as are rice and soy flour noodles. San Remo does a good gluten free pasta. They do 1 soy and 1 gluten free buckwheat.

it was/is a small area of calcification. I am not a drinker, and have been on the Swank diet for years - I am not over weight. The pain went on for months, I lost a lot of weight - because I was throwing up all the time ........ a very nasty experience. I also suffered from terrible nerve like pain ...

While on the subject of the liver ......... I just thought I'd add that, last year I was having a great deal of pain around the lower abdomen, so they gave me an ultra sound after my MRI revealed no lesions on the spine (that could have possibly been attributed to causing the pain ???????) they neve...

Sorry you are having such a terrible time - hope you recover soon !!

In Australia, Blackmores (brand name) also do a 1000IU D3 which is available from chemists or the supermarket.
