Never heard of it.

Heard of it, researched it, sounds credible and good for many problems not just MS. .Google it and you come up with lots of info. Only problem is I, like you can't find anyone using it, I think I may have read something in MSWorld - have to look again.

I am waiting to see my supplement doctor to ask his opinion, as his expertise is in things like this,

Thanks, Melanie for your input & for asking for further info. regarding "Padma Basic".
What caught my attention most about this supplement is it's claim of providing increased muscle strength.
Like you, I've had MS for a long time (30 years - diagnosed 1981) & could sure make use of some increase in muscle strength!
Please report back what your Supplement Doc had to say about this!
Thanks..........Maggie

I will absolutely report back. Might take some time. I have 'flaccid paralysis'- almost all muscle strength gone. You may have read of Dr Terry Whals and how she used an e-stim process to regain her leg strength. Not sure exactly how she did it but I have found a neuro-rehab clinic in a YMCA that has similar sounding equipment and am going to see if I can gain some leg strength back that way.

I believe the concept is similar to what the Russians did for years to bulking up the muscle for the Olympics. Spinal cord injury patients do it too.

Hi Melanie -
I'll be anticipating word on the Padma Basic whenever you obtain the info.
I have read the entire article on Dr. Wahl's site & printed it out in hope of finding a facilty that offers this modality. I admit that I haven't persued it as fervently as I could. I just get so tired sometimes & can verge on apathy.
Although I'm a short distance from Hershey Medical Center, where one would think is advanced on such treatments, they sadly are lacking. After awhile, I'll get "re-motivated" & search some more!
Having the energy to even gather info. can often become problematic. My interest is ALWAYS there however!
We may have alot in common Melanie...........I see we're the same age. - {{HUG}} - Maggie

I've been taking this supplement for a month and I love it.I have seen improvement in my muscle strength and fatigue.it has also helped me get past the negative gastric issues that accompany hydrocodone.if you do decide to try it bear in mind that it does take a couple of weeks to kick in, since I have only been taking it for a month I hope to see an even greater improvement.amazon.com has padma basic for a pretty good price,best of luck -jay

Thanks for your information Jay. I ordered some last night. I hope it helps with the holiday season energy levels.
