- I have been experiencing jaw pain, but also pain along my sinuses and in my eyebrows. I don't have a sinus infection, so that's one possibility crossed out. I've read up on trigeminal neuralgia and I have pain where those nerves are... but my pain...
- I was just told I will never be able to donate blood because I have Crohn's disease. I have been in remission and without medication for over a year. I am no longer anemic and have no pain.... However I was just put on a list that says I will...
- I don't want to rub it into anyone's face, I know having MS is hard and it changes everything, but I need to brag about this...I am almost completely symptom free! Last August I thought my life was over when I woke up one morning and had to be...
- fI had optic neuritis last year pretty badly, so I understand the pain that ON can cause.My question is: Is it possible to have the eye pain (eyes hurt when moving) and not have it caused by ON? Or is it possible to have the pain return as sort of...
- I just had an MRI last night and it was done without contrast. The last 5 MRI's I've had in the past 12 months have been with contrast. Why would the most recent be without contrast?Wouldn't contrast show where active lesions are better than...
- As I understand it, allergies are an autoimmune issue. We are currently in the height of hay fever season her in Ontario. Everywhere I look there is golden rod in full bloom. My nose probably will not stop running until the first frost.What I'm...
- I guess I should start by saying I'm new to the Crohn's disease support group, but not new to daily strength. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2004 at age 17 after surgery for meckles diverticulitis and to remove my appendix.I was on Pentasa...
- This isn't really about MS, but I wanted to tell someone. I'm 23 and I have had a really rough go at life. My dad had a major stroke, brain surgery and open heart surgery when I was 9, changing him into a different man.When I was 12 my parents...
- I was just looking at the Betaseron website and they are offering all of these wonderful tools... except it's not offered in Canada. This is so frustrating. Is the $2000+ CAD a month I spend not as good as the US$? Why is there very rarely...
- Just read this and thought it might help people who are staying in struggling relationships for the wrong reasons.http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/16367/21499/storyRecently I held a discussion and book signing at the Hopkinton...
- I think some of you may remember, but for those that don't, or haven't read, last August I developed ON in my optic chaism causing total blindness in my right eye (everything was black) and vision so blurred in my left eye that I couldn't see the...
- I went out for a beer with a friend tonight. It was around the corner from my house and when we are done, I told her I would wait for the bus with her. I ended up peeing myself waiting for the bus. It was only 2 beer and I went pee 3 times. I am...
- I was just prescribed Ritalin (10mg twice a day, up to 30mg twice a day). I'm not going to hallucinate or have any weird side effects am I?I was on Modafinil (Provigil, Alertec, etc) and I couldn't breathe when I took it, so that's why I switched.
- It's currently 41C and it's supposed to be like this all week. I have started feeling some pain deep in my bones when I am out in the heat. Is it normal for the heat to cause pain? I have never experienced any issues due to the heat.My mom is...
