- For anyone who knows the background feel free to skip this paragraph. :-) I have spasticity in my right leg. It is always there when I walk, and occasionally when I'm sitting or lying down it starts to cramp up really badly. My neuro wrote me a...
- I thought this was wonderful and wanted to share the information with anyone else who may be interested."Although most of the media attention given to MS focuses on the disease modifying agents, many of the symptoms of MS can and should be managed...
- I have some concerns about whether or not my neurologist is competent. At my last appointment he told me that he's ruled out MS because my MRI (the first and only one so far) came back normal. After doing some online research I found that...
- My neurologist has decided to send me to physical therapy for my leg spasticity, other than that he's not interested in my other symptoms. One of these other symptoms is pain. The spasticity causes me pain. I also get a nasty burning feeling in...
- First let me tell you the situation and then I'd really like some opinions about if I'm being unreasonable, sometimes I can't tell and I'd like to make sure.School started for my children recently. I am dealing with a neurological issue (don't know...
- I went back to the neurologist for my MRI results this morning. I had an MRI with and without contrast done of my head, cervical, and thoracic. He said although it looks like I may have experienced something "life threatening" and there is...
- I'm hoping the FDA will approve the use of fingolimod (new oral medication) for MS soon. I've been doing alot of research on LDN and it sounds really good too. My thinking is that they both sound good and I would hate to have to pick just one when...
- I went to a therapy appointment yesterday. Their office was air conditioned but the building is old and very large so it wasn't very effective. I had some leg muscle spasms while the therapist and I were talking but that isn't unusual for me so I...
- Does anyone know what kind of alternative medications exist for MS? I don't think I can do injections. I have a serious needle phobia and pass out about half the time when I have my blood drawn or get a shot. Passing out while giving myself an...
- I haven't driven my car in about 3 months. It's incredibly inconvenient but I am worried that it might not be safe. The last time I tried to drive my leg wouldn't stop shaking on the gas a brake pedals. I'm afraid to tell the neurologist about it...
- I'm not officially part of the MS group yet (I'm still waiting for results) but I was hoping one of you might be able to help me answer a question or two. I'm sorry in advance that this is rather long. Thanks for taking the time to read it.First...
- Someone has posted in the crisis center and I handed out the best advice I could. I'm all alone in posting so far, does anyone else have anything they could add?
- I'm not sure exactly how to say what I want, my thoughts are a little scrambled this morning, but I'll do my best. :-) I realized this morning that knowing and believing are two different things. For example, in therapy they tell you about having...
- I found out today that my "pseudo seizures" may actually be medication induced dystonia (painful involuntary muscle movements) from my antidepressants. My former neurologist dismissed my symptoms because they weren't "real" seizures and he wasn't...
- I'm curious about how many people with bipolar either currently use marijuana or have in the past. From what I've read online there is some controversy about whether it may have some therapeutic value vs. it being detrimental or triggering...
