- I had a swallow eval last year when I started to feel like my throat was constricted. From that, it was assessed that I had some muscle weakness on one side of my throat. However I have also read that numbness in the throat can make it feel like you...
- I was researching amino acids in MS and histamine came up, along with some work done in the 50's using histamine as a treatment. Someone came up wigh Procarin, which is combination of caffeine and histamine. Hadn't heard of it before. Anyone else?

- Has anyone heard of, or been to http://www.pacificinterventional.com/ccsvi_scheduling.html ?It looks like they can schedule treatment for CCSVI in a couple weeks. The only problem, or one problem, I see is, what if you travel there and they do the...
- My insurance is insisting I switch from the local compounding pharmacy to a mail order, which is through medco. I don't know, or even know how to find out, what kind of filler they use and how it compares to other pharmacies. Does anyone know?

- Does anyone know? I asked my neuro and first he said its generally around 15 yrs. Then he said 20 yrs. I was diagnosed 19 yrs ago, still RR. Neuro wants me to try Tysabri but I don't like the risks. And given that I'm only 33, I don't know that it...
- I was curious, with all the CCSVI and some other blood/circulatory hypotheses around MS, if there might be any connection to blood pressure and disease progression/severity. I have low blood pressure. More than once a nurse has assumed I work out a...

- http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-11/pu-fsn112310.phpCan't wait to discuss this with my neuro in 2 weeks. Although you'd think that highly polluted areas would have more cases of MS than cleaner areas. I'm sure thery are looking into that...
- Saw the neurologist today. He says Gilenya or Tysabri next for me- already did Copaxone and Rebif before. I don't really want to try it. I"m only 33 and not sure how long I could stay on it. I"m in pretty good shape for having MS for 20 yrs. Dr says...
- I've heard that some people when starting LDN go through a period of experiencing old symptoms, in progression, before they find a stable state. I've been on LDN for 8 months now. I did not have any recurring old symptoms in the first few weeks....
