- I there a difference between a flare and an attack of MS? and does it have to be like the major attack I had which led to my diagnosis? I have symptoms flaring all the time but I don't think I could call that an attack or a flare. Symptoms come and...
- anyone else notice how much epsom salt baths and magnesium oil help with the nerve pain and muscle spasticity? It is even helping my vertigo issues. I am really pleasantly surprised with this. Am I just catching on??
- Am I just becoming a hypochondriac since my diagnosis of ms or have others noticed that their allergies are worse? I am allergic to my non-allergic dog now too. It seems like I am allergic to everything now. Any others????
- I was happy to see the article in the monthly ms magazine about pain from the cold weather. Heat bothers me in totally different ways than the cold. The cold just stiffens my legs and I tremble and shiver until I feel incapacitated. It's worse than...
- I have not had a cigarette in over a month now, woohoo, milestone for me. I feel many advantages of not smoking but....... my gums and teeth are still tender and sore. My gums don't bleed as much as last week but my teeth are sore too. My tongue...
- I have had a really bad month this May. Early in the month I had a gum abcess, it popped and drained on its own and I thought I felt fine. It took me 3 weeks to get to the dentist. I thought it had cleared up but I was wrong, It was still infected...
- I have had a real rough month and I am getting scared again.:( Almost to the point when I was first diagnosed in 07. My legs went sooo weak sooo suddenly after I got a sinus infection. My PCP thinks its a rxn to the statins and my nuero thinks it's...
- It really has me aggravated that the press announced the UB will be doing research studies with stem cells for MS. Phase I won't begin until 2016. Why tease us all by announcing this now?? Living in Buffalo, of course I want to know about this. They...
- isn't it strange how different we all are, even with the same dlsease? Like some need heat to soothe them while others need the cold? Some need the very things that disturb others. Example: some have recommended a warm/hot soak to relieve nerve...
- I finally read the flyer for the nertontins. Of course this was because I am developing boils on my skin. the flyer says neurontin can cause a deadly skin infection. Wonderful....any one know anything about this????
- when I call my neuro now, I get routed to the answering machine. Really? Even to make an appointment, I have to leave a message so they have to call me back. They don't respond back the same day either. So I keep calling to hopefully get a real...
- Although the loneliness is dreadful at times, I know that I made this choice to be alone with my ms. My ex husband was my best friend after out divorce but he passed about five years ago now. The last boyfrind I had saw me thru my diagnosis and the...
- It says we only get what we can bear??? Hah! What kind of BS is that? My local daughter stopped bothering with me since my dx. She said it scared her to see me like this. Now she spends all of the holidays with her inlaws. Like I am no one now. she...
- Living in Buffalo, NY, I know that snow will be here sooner than I want to see it. I just DREAD winter. The cold siezes my legs muscles and walking is much harder for me. Our summer this year was brutal with the heat and humidity from wiping out any...
