Kicking MS to the curb

Glad to hear about the magnesium! Yes, I take that as well, still self assessing for most useful dose.
I tend to be intermittent w/most supplements yet.

Thanks for the input on the strains. I'm just starting to experiment there. The info on what helps regarding sleep is more helpful than you even know.

I will absolutely check out projectcbd!

Thank you & I hope you have a great weekend!

Having had MS 15+ years this theory was found to be false. Liberation surgery to correct this was proven incorrect when peoples symptoms returned a few years and tens of thousands of dollars later. I was lined up to have it done and opted out at the eleventh hour. Some few saw success but sadly it was debunked as being the cause of MS

After some reading and videos I have to agree. I believe this neurologist is not trying to cure MS with this technique. He seems to be trying to debunk all the missed diagnosis and identify a cause for some of peoples symptoms. Since I had cervical stenosis and my dad had to have stints put in I do not think it is a stretch that this could relieve some of my symptoms. It will not happen in Canada, but I am not going to stop looking further, like my MS neurologist did.

My wife was just diagnosed with MS and her neurologist has prescribed her Aubagio 14mg tab, 1x/day. Anyone here with experience on its effectiveness and side effects?

Sorry to hear Dman, do you know if it's primary progressive or relapsing remitting? I haven't tried that particular drug but have used Avonex and Rebif along with fist full of other types of meds. Haven't used them since 2013(knock on wood) and upped my cannabis intake dramatically. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions in general. I know the first few months are a damn rollercoaster.

She was diagnosed with relapse remitting MS. Fairly mild symptoms,...burning feet, bladder issues, and the MS hug. Apparently this drug is to prevent the worsening of symptoms. It’s been on the market since 2012...expensive AF to!

I know it sounds odd but of the two versions its awesome she has relapsing remitting. It's the lesser of two evils if you had to pick one. The price is fucken harsh eh? My Rebif was 28k a year. If you're in Ontario look into the Trillium program. You just pay a deductable (mine was 6K a year) and the rest is covered. Not sure if other provinces offer the same but it's worth a look into it. Also I found that Walmart is the cheapest place to fill prescriptions. I've used Shoppers, Rexall, and Pharma Plus and they were definitely cheapest.

Both of my wife’s Aunts have progressive MS...trust me, we do feel lucky in that weird way. My wife’s work drug plan won’t cover the cost of the meds, so we have the Trillium application on deck for tomorrow.

I went the other route. I have had a lifetime of being mistreated and marginalized by the medical system. I couldn't afford any of the prescriptions I was given as I had no insurance - and I don't have thousand$/yr to pay out of pocket even if a plan exists here, so I ditched the doctors and the pills - it's been 6 years since I saw a doctor. I'd rather wander off and die in the woods if and when I get sick than deal with doctors and hospitals.

With trillium
I went that route with injectable cholesterol meds and I still have to pay 4500 per year out of pocket
Hopefully yours works out differently

God damn !Must be pretty expensive meds, it's far cheeper than buying them without Trillium I'm sure. If not thats really odd
