This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

my .02 is to see another neuro for a second opinion and definitely check for lyme. i saw three different neuro's after starting with a neuro surgeon, so i guess technically four and they all came back with the same result and thoughts on treatment. also, check the 'natural approach' threads and thin...

If marijuana were discovered in some rainforest tomorrow, it would be touted as the next wonder drug. But because a bunch of dirty hippies smoke it while dancing to a Fish concert, it's evil. I would say you'd probably be right if it was discovered tomorrow. But, the Phish reference is not the issu...

if you cover one eye do you still have the double vision? that was one way of dealing with the double vision for me. if that works at least you'd be able to paint a little until it clears up.

i did a quick search and there are some significant risks involved. personally, i would explore every avenue from multiple dr's before choosing this one. The most common side effects include: Loose muscles Sleepiness Upset stomach Nausea/vomiting Headache Dizziness Pump failure may cause an overdose...

i am currently using avonex and the main side effect for me is headaches the day after my shot. mary jane is the only thing that makes me feel better. advil, aleve, or whatever else doesn't even come close to touching those headaches. i too wouldn't be surprised if the studies proved that mj was ben...

JL - i'm taking 50mg of zinc. my multi has 11mg of zinc and .5mg of copper. i am interested to see where my copper level is due to my food consumption. i am addicted to cashews and we eat spinach often...almost daily. i've always like spinach, but it was a critical part of our diet (for the iron) in...

i had chicken pox as a little kid and have had maybe a couple cold sores as an adult.

i remember my dad getting cold sores on occasion. my sister and i have ms. my other two sisters do not have ms. i am male just for an fyi.

thanks JL! i have not had my copper level tested, but i am taking a zinc supplement daily as well as a multi. the multi has a small amount of copper...i forget % off the top of my head. i go in to review my mri in a couple weeks, so i'll have a blood test then. i follow the copper mrkt a little due ...

No real clue about the copper levels yet. She said they were only slightly low and would be improved by a multivitamin containing copper. My symptoms? Last year I was here discussing heat sensitivity that sent tons of pins and needles shocks down my spine/crawling up back of my head for a good bit....

Asparagus are excellent; Spinach, Sesame Seeds, Cashews are very good.

my copper level must be very good! maybe i'll drain some out and sell it off...the copper market is going up!

^yes!

shucks - you should look into the FB page if you haven't already. there is a lot of good info on Dr Burt and insurance options from people who have gone thru the process.

Asher - this is good news! the fact that you would do again is great news! i'm sure you will continue to improve over time and thank you for the update. we are all pulling for you! i've been following the "stem cell warriors" the george mentioned on facebook. it is quite the page with many...

My 2 cents-I don't think Anne Romney has any duty or responsibility to advocate or even discuss her MS if she so chooses. It is a private matter and she is not the candidate. I would not discuss my MS if I were her either. I don't do it now. It is simply a part of me (as it is of her). It feels lik...

I did not read the interview, was there something she said that drew you to the conclusion that she would not be an advocate for people with MS? no, not in that quote, but my comment was just that...a comment. i personally do not hide my MS whatsoever and as a matter of fact i promote it to make pe...

well...they continue to put their feet in their mouth. will she really advocate for MS...hard to say. "I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. It can be here today gone tomorrow." During the same interview, speaking about the horseback riding therapy she uses t...
