DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT CIS IS? SOMEONE ASKED ME IF THE DOCTOR EVER SAID CIS.

I was told I had a CIS, it is a Clinically Isolated Syndrone where you have had one episode of MS. You may or may not develope MS, just depends on if you have a second episode and you doctor should be able to give you more information. My MS specialist put me on treatment because of the new studies out there instead of waiting for the next attach. Hope this helps.

Hi, that' great, that really helps, so I just had one episode of MS. I really do not have MS but could get MS, right?

Hi Maggie,
Please get a new doc ASAP.
I say if you had one episode another could be around the corner. I hope not though

CIS! I don't know how it works in Canada or if it matters, but in the US CIS means you can load up on all insurances you (may) need. I think he doesn't want to worry you, no panic for first occurances.

JMHO, now is the perfect time for LDN, to stablize, heal, and maybe keep the DX away forever. I wish I got it before the permanent damages happened :(

Good luck ;)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
