This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

38 y/o female, RN, dx Sept 2014. Get vibrations in my legs & weakness, lots of fatigue. Fine motor coordination declining (important when drawing up meds), visual acuity steady decline. I went from an active floor nurse to the manager. I think that MS was brought on by the stress of the manageme...

Thank you for the replies. What keeps you involved in this board?

I saw the neurologist last Tuesday, since it was my first relapse and all. I started smoking weed again on Monday. Had a J every night. Yesterday I the weakness was worse. Today, 3 days after beginning to smoke again, Im back, almost where I left off. Im really thinking the pot helps.

$52m is why having the solution to MS wouldn't be cost effective... Just sayin'.

Educate your parents about M.S. Hopefully they learn that the disease itself is some fucked up shit. Also the ER will not turn anyone away. A Social Worker there can work with your parents to get insurance.
I wish you well. Hang in there.

Where there's will, there's a way!

Yeah, I don't have a cool 7k handy either. Thanks for sharing. I hope to read about your next liberation soon.

I forgot to add that I too got sparklies and the bright flashes. It reminded me of what you see when your pupils dilate after ingesting blotter (that was almost 20 yrs ago, but I still remember). I think its an indication that your eye wiring is getting better.

My first attack was ON. My ON experience: That day I had played call of duty - all day. Haven't played it in almost a year so when my left eyeball started to get sore, I thought it I had strained it playing video games. It started to hurt more. My eyeball itself hurt, touching around it didn't. Then...

I haven't read any new posts about someone's recent CCSVI treatment. Are people not having it done anymore or am I looking in the wrong spots?

I didn't read everyone's conversation but what I picked up in a skim is that the discussion is about vertebral cord compression and fluid restriction. I saw my MRI and at C5 I have an active lesion. C5 is compressing my cord-easily visible on MRI. Over the last few years my chiropractor noticed my C...

I smoked medical marijuana daily for 5 years, with a year break during. I decided to see what life was like without it last July and about a week after is when I experienced ON, which then led to a dx of MS. The Dr. said I could have had MS for the last few yrs. I continued not to smoke for the mont...

Has anyone found any Qualitative research on MS? I haven't found any and I am interested. For those who don't know what Qualitative research is, it is research performed through the collection of subjective and objective data rather than using raw number data. Quantitative research is what we mostly...

I was dx officially in Sept '14 after a ON attack in July. I am a RN and I too have decided not to treat with meds. How can one tell if their relapse rate decreases with medication if they haven't determined their relapse rate without medication first? I want to see what my body does for itself. My ...
