The Segway products also look very interesting. I am considering getting one of these to use to walk my dog. They also make versions that are suitable for off-road/trail use. They make a number of different models. I think I'd prefer model 12 SE with handles. http://www.segway.com/products/consumer-...

This info dovetails nicely with ideas from the Wahls/ketogenic diet.

ken11, I saw your post from 1-1/2 years ago while looking for information about methotrexate and MS. I was amazed to see that you had used it for almost 30 years. Why did your doctor recommend that you switch to tecfidera? What dose of methotrexate were you using? Did you stop completely? How is you...

Clemastine fumerate in the news again, this time in relation to repair of optic nerve damage: http://alturl.com/9u9qv "While the improvement in vision appears modest, this study is promising because it is the first time a drug has been shown to possibly reverse the damage done by MS," said...

These results could also be partially explained by differences in diagnostic rates between those living in London, and those living in other countries.

As long are you are emptying regularly and completely, you shouldn't get a UTI even with catheter use. I'm able to catheterize while sitting on the toilet and follow a pretty sterile procedure. It's not hard to do and you get used to doing it quickly. So yeah, I'm not happy about having to catheter...

Very sorry to hear about this, perhaps this serves as a good "heads-up" to the rest of the early Stanford pioneers. I was last checked in 2012. I need to find a local vein clinic to check my stents yearly, Dr. Dake's office is inconvenient (and unwilling**) to do this. I hope you get quick...

If I remained at the 20mg dose, I'm certain my prescription benefit provider would require that I move to a generic version as soon as it becomes available in order to cut costs.

Hopefully you are also taking high-dose Biotin. Seeva recently posted a patent application for the use of high-dose Biotin which contains inf...

HI Friends please read https://www.google.com/patents/WO2014016003A1?cl=en regards seeva This is a very nice write-up. I'm only part way through it, and will probably need to read over it a few times, but am very interested to read the information about the use of high-dose Biotin (up to 600mg/day)...

A doctor recommended this supplement to me several years ago for brain health. I have been taking it daily ever since, although I cannot point to any specific benefit with respect to my daily symptoms. I take "phosphatidyl serine matrix" from Source Naturals, 500mg morning and evening and ...

The upshot of this is that above an air temperature of 73 degrees F I start to quickly deteriorate in many ways. I've found my trigger to be 72 degrees, remarkably close to yours. As the day progresses, I need intermittent cold showers or my trusty ice cooling jacket: http://www.amazon.com/FlexiFre...
