Hello to everyone. I've got a couple of questions, here goes: 1) I tried to take Avonex a few years ago. Really gave me trouble with my liver. My doctors...
Two ideas. First, if you know the reactions to Copaxone are temporary and not serious can you put up with them? I've had a few of these and have learned not...
I recently had a blood test. My MD stopped my Avonex usage (I've been on it for 7 years) because my white blood count was 2300. She was even more concerned...
I also have had reactions to Copaxone, however I know that it will pass, so I distract myself by putting on a movie, listen to some music that I love, put a...
I make it through the reactions OK, don't panic etc. I'm just wondering what this is doing to my body. I'm 45, don't like the feeling of "heart attack"...
She had to go to the Nursing Home because she was falling so much at at home but the nursing staff just has her in a holding pattern. Her hubby has to see...
I can vouch for the Novantrone. I had two years of quarterly treatments of Novantrone, and had no problems while on it. Now that I'm off it, we're trying to...
I'm waiting to have "angina type attacks" checked but they're not rushing because the cardio thinks it's my MS. I don't sweat or pass out is his reasoning. I...

Hi Sherry, I sure understand your reluctance to take these meds--all of them. They all have a shotgun effect and who know what all they do in your body....
Several years ago, I started having a, "fibrulating" heart. When it fibrulates, it seems to flutter or beat really fast for short time and I tend to feel light...
Hello Everyone, My name is Freda and I want to thank you for taking the time to read my story. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place but if I'm not, I hope I...
I went thru a similar process as you and didn't really think about all of the symptoms I had over the years until I read about MS. I then began to really think...
I have a lot of the same symptoms you described - the blurred vision, slurring words, general clumsiness. I just put it down the getting older...and never...

Does anyone else in Pennsylvania with MS feel the effects of the hot weather changes already...5/10/07...I have some neck wraps that I soak in water and then...
I am VERY sensitive to the heat/humidity (I live in Florida) so I use the neck bands also! Check with your local MS chapter for a cool vest. I received a cool...

I have lost the vision in my left eye...first round of Solu-Medro two weeks ago...vision came back...4 days later gone again...another round...nothing back. I...
You aren't going crazy but you might feel that way right now. I've never lost my vision so I won't pretend to know how you feel with that. I did once have...
Start your SS claim now because that takes awhile. Your health is #1. Sight can come and go or you can have bouts of the vision loss from time to time. That...
My husband has had MS for at least 24 years and I like reading whatever I can about it - seemingly more than he does. I will most likely just "lurk" unless...

Hi! I'm Barbara. I am not yet diagnosed w/MS. I feel like such a hypochondriac. I don't dare go to an M.D. I am seeing a Naturopath. So far, he is failing at...
