What can I do?

I'm here looking for help. My father has ms and is on so many different med.s I cant even begin to list them all here. But the med.s just don't seem to ease his pain. What other things are there out there that I could help him do to ease the pain and cramps associated with his symptoms? I've read articles on ancient chinese medicine but that's just not really relasitic for us. I'm trying to learn more about this disease so maybe i can be more help to him during his flair-ups. What are some things that ya'll have found that help?

Here's a couple of things that I'm doing for my MS... Started low dose naltrexone a month ago. I've had weekly B12 injections for 20yrs & the thing that has helped alot has been glyconutrients.

yeah the pain just seems to be neverending. it's just a matter of how much in this 10 minutes. pain killers like ibuprofen and codeine (nurofen plus in australia) are what i am using. get ready but for the comments about taking too many...the choice is hard, do you want pain relief or should you be sensible and just take 1 every now and then. it is really heartening to hear you ask for help for someone else....thanks for displaying a "caringness". i ordered the "myalin sheath support" tablets, but they made me sick in the stomach...mainly chinese herbs in these. they might be good for ur dad..they do not relieve pain.

Acupuncture could be helpful, I've tried it in the past. Physical therapy could work wonders also. Getting his legs strong could only be a good thing.

The best thing is finding a doctor you can trust, one that truly listens to your dad's concerns. He shouldn't have to be in so much pain. If he is, find a new doctor, please. xoxo Feisty

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
