hello flutter, im not a doctor (obviously) so i couldn't say if a cervical injury could cause your symptoms. What you are explaining sounds like MS to me. Theres a few things that can also mimic MS....
Well i definately have agree to extent about the Roy Swank diet. I never attempted at the diet. Its just for the fact ive been trying to eat tons of fruits and vegtables since i realized uhh, i...
Welcome gemini. I think it definately helps, when you can talk about these issues with people, who also are dealing with similar problems. I was just DX in May, but me and my nueros all agreed ive...
popsie seems to have some good ideas, especially if you have certain allergic reactions. I havent taken or even began to research any of the other medications, so i cant give any input. The lyrica...
i understand about the steroids. I know they are bad and used long term only for progressive MS. Also i realize its horrible for the liver and bones. (my liver probably already has taken a beating)....
i kept begging my neauro for more steroids lol. They gave me this to shut me up. Im very satisfied....
Hello! The same happened with me. I had the optic neauritis and was hospitalized in may. I got 10 days of steriods (5 day injections) which helped the ON. Once i stopped the steriods and got a lunbar...
This stuff is great! Regained all my energy again, and it helps me think more clear and precise. I definately needed it as i was horribly fatigued again, especially during the day. I definately dont...

theres a place in poughkeepsie ny, which may be alot closer. its called e river nuerology...
i know how it is, about asking for help. When i was diagnosed 2 months ago, everyone was trying to help me with everything. Now my upper body is getting its butt kicked by the ms, and all my...
im far from a doctor, but its sounds like you are having anxiety from accepting that you have ms. Obviously there is pills for that. Some of the best relief i find are pretty self explainatory,...
