Glad you did join the site.

thank you, I will find some.

It was one of the hardest thing I had to do in my life was to tell my 9 yr old he had MS tonight. It took me 5 days but I had to go ahead and explain to him, why he was having some of his problems and about starting treatment. He cried about the shots, and we talked about trying to make it easier. a...

B. who is Sarah? and I dont get what you mean by that last statement. They didnt know what caused it so they decided it was MS.

thank you Marie. Nope no one in the family has anything even similer. He goes to a GI and has had many test, he is also constipated. Has to take all sorts of meds to help him go and still has trouble. Infact he has an appointment tomorrow, I could run it by him. Thanks, I know we have alot in front ...

he did have the ADEM encephmylitis(sp) w/ possiable MS. but with more testing they did dx MS.

trying to do research on the best CRAB, for my newly dx son. The DR. says we can help in the decision, but there are so many good and bad things about each one. Please let me know what made you choose the one you use. And how do you feel about it. Side effects, the amount of times you use it. etc. t...

what made you choose Rebif over the other CRABS? My son will have to start one soon, and Im torn between which one we should go with. His Dr. asked me to research them and decide. They both have good and bad sides. Side effects, times etc. Maybe you all could give me more ideas on which one? Thank y...

what made you choose Avonex over the other CRABS? My son will have to start one soon, and Im torn between which one we should go with. His Dr. asked me to research them and decide. They both have good and bad sides. Side effects, times etc. Maybe you all could give me more ideas on which one? Thank ...

what made you choose betaseron over the other CRABS? My son will have to start one soon, and Im torn between which one we should go with. His Dr. asked me to research them and decide. They both have good and bad sides. Side effects, times etc. Maybe you all could give me more ideas on which one? Tha...

sorry this may be sort of a repeat of anther question. Does everyone get side effects like the flu and chills etc. from avonex? my son starts soon, but I do think the Dr. wants us to choose between this one and the beta one. But leaning toward this one due to the once a week thing. one the other han...

Celeste, thanks for that number I will call it. Yes in July they did call it ADEM, but said all test really pointed toward MS, but wanted to wait and see anyways. But after some major headaches everyday, they put him on topamax and decided to do another MRI. This MRI, they decided it was looked very...

Celsete, how did you talk to your DD about her MS? My son has one attack in July and other than headaches, and stomachaches,mood swings (that we are just now putting those and this together) he hasnt has any problems, so he will not as easily understand, as far as he knows he is fine. So its like te...

thank you, I will be asking his DR. about what vitiams he thinks is best for Nick, and about the diet too.

thanks for the tips. What is D3 and Omega 3. why do you think its so important. What does his diet have to do with it? just wondering, Ive heard things about diets for his ADHD too, but never really went on it. Im not at all knocking you, this is all so new to me. You are the only person so far that...
