Hello all. Got my head on straight again. Thank you for the outpouring of support. It took me getting angry to get the motivation I needed with help from a very special friend “astronautsandwitch”. The first step in getting legal represenatation to represent us. The founding of a PHYSICAL; LEGAL entity called the North American CCSVI Society. The creation of an executive board of physicians, nurses, lawyers, cardiovascular surgeons, neurologist (only a sincere dedicated neuro, radiologists, surgeons, part-time clerical staff. The establishment of home offices in the US and Canada with constant sharing of information and concise plan of attack for raising CCSVI awareness, equipment, training, funding clinical trials, overseeing clinical trials. Raising funds for MRV, doppler, and cooperation with universities that will be involved in the research. The NACCSVI Society would also prevent people from opening up opportunistic clinics that would do unsafe procedures in an attempt to make a quick buck. The framework will involve first legal representation and then the formation of an executive board. The next step the physical procurement of offices and staffing and then fundraising toward CCSVI research. We can do this. Anyone who would like to volunteer ideas, time, services, legal expertise may feel free to contact me at irishbear76@yahoo.com Together we can!!! God bless. Mark

MS is an autoimmune demylinating disorder which affects ur nerve fibers , but it’s very rare to have it during childhood or after age 50 years , so if u r older than 50 , don’t worry too much , unless u have a relative who had MS before , because sometimes it can be genetic .

as i understood from u , u r feeling dizzy and tiredness in ur feet and arm and “chest” , actually these aren’t close to symptoms of MS , it’s closer to blood pressure problems which explain the dizziness , but from what i got from you i can’t give u a specific diagnosis

anyway , the first symptoms of MS are usually: visual problems, ataxia , inability to move ur limbs normally, and most commonly .. difficulty in controlling urinary bladder.

personally , i advise u to go to a hospital and do MRI , to exclude any problems in ur nervous system, also if u tell the details to the doctor .. he will do blood test , and EMG to assess ur muscles power.

that’s it…and i hope it’s nothing serious.. good luck

Question by Emeka N: What type of medicine are you taking for your Multiple Sclerosis?
My brother who is now 24 yrs old has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He went from jogging 2-3 times and week, playing basketball everyday to barely holding his self up. He can’t walk more than 5 feet without leaning on someone or something. This kills me! He had minor symptoms of MS in the beginning but as soon as he started taking his medicine, it got a lot worst I believe.

I just wanted to ask what medicine do you MS patients have? My brother said Mitt Romney’s wife has it and hers have went into remission after she started taking “eastern” medication. I don’t know if that’s true or not. If someone that has MS can tell me what type of medicine there doctor has them using and after what time period did they start seeing results? Please ONLY MS patients need reply

If you have a story on how you overcame it or how a treatment effected your MS in a good way, please share your story. Your reply would be appreciated! Thanks!

I’m very sorry to hear about your brother. What I can tell you is that MS affects everyone who has it differently. So does the medications to slow down its advancement. While I can’t speak directly to his MS (I don’t know what kind he has), I can tell you about mine (I have RRMS), and my successes.

I had one episode of Optic Neuritis, some tremors, and some right arm muscle weakness. That seems like no big deal, but if you were to see my MRIs, two within a six month period, my brain told a different story. It looked like Swiss cheese. And the second MRI showed significant advancement.

Time to start medication. The CRAB drugs (Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron) essentially do the same thing. The differences between them are the frequency of dosings, the locations of shots, and the side effects. I chose Copaxone. It sports the least side effects, but the highest dosing frequency (every day).

While my symptoms slowly got better over the next year, they again didn’t tell the whole story. My MRI a year later showed that I had no new lesions, no active lesions, and the ones I had were shrinking. Guess I picked the right medicine.

But when do you know you are on the wrong medicine? The drugs usually take about six weeks to gain efficacy. After that, my doc would say that if you have two or more flare ups within a six month period, or if you have abnormal brain scans, it may be time to change the medication. Each one of the formulations works in a slightly different way, and everyone responds differently to them. In your brother’s case, when he started taking his meds, he was already that far along with his disease. The thing to remember about the meds is that they don’t cure MS. They simply slow its progression and make exacerbations less severe and last for a shorter duration.

Your brother’s neurologist will work with him and together, using the entire body of evidence (symptoms, neurological exam, MRIs, etc), they’ll decide if it’s time to try a new medicine.

Good luck, and I wish you both well.

Dystonia is not a new condition. It affects thousands of people every year. Contrary to popular belief, dystonia is not a normal consequence of growing older. As a matter of fact, the onset of dystonia can occur at any age. Dystonia is not a discriminatory condition, as it will affect men, women or children.

Symptoms can include disturbed sleep patterns, tiredness, depression, poor concentration, change in vision, and more. Normal activities can be more difficult to carry out. Sounds like other diseases as well, right? That’s why it is extremely important to not self-diagnose. Neurologists and Movement Disorder Specialists are physicians specializing in various areas such as dystonia and PD, with the ability to clearly differentiate the similarities of diseases with commonalities such as these.   

The clinical features of spastic cerebral palsy are those associated with damage to the cerebral cortex and corresponding pyramidal tracts. Symptoms and motor problems include paucity of movement, increased resistance to passive movement, muscle spasm, clonus (rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles), exaggerated deep tendon reflexes and absence of change in muscle tone associated with a change in posture, for example, moving from a supine to a sitting position.

People with this disorder can survive into adulthood. Patients with NPD type A have progressive neurodegeneration, and attainment of milestones does not progress beyond 10 months in any domain. Motor milestone attainment rarely progresses beyond the ability to sit with assistance. Progression with loss of previously achieved milestones ensues, and patients appear weak and hypotonic.

These are just some of the main symptoms of MS. There are many more in other areas but to list them all is well beyond the scope of this article. It is important, however, to realise that ignoring any of the above symptoms – particularly if they are tending to grow more severe or frequent – can lead to greater problems as the disease advances.

While the nerve-muscle connections cannot be repaired, selective denervation surgery is a peripheral way to treat this condition. Doctors perform a wide variety of tests to pinpoint the exact muscles that are contracting to cause you the majority of your dystonia issues. Once they have the locations of the misbehaving muscles, they carefully cut the nerves that supply these muscles.

These are slow twisting movements of the head, neck, trunk or proximal segments of the limbs, giving rise to grotesque movements of the body and distorted positions. Dystonia grossly resembles athetosis, but differes from it in its longer duration, persistence of the postural abnormality and affection of the axial muscles. ‘Torsion spasm’ is dystonia involving the lumbar and cervical muscles. I

Torticollis is a disorder where the neck muscles contract uncontrollably, causing the head to be twisted or turned in various positions. Sometimes a jerking of the head will also occur. This condition is usually painful and certain activities such as standing and walking can make spasms worse, making even simple tasks difficult. Severe headaches are not unusual with torticollis.
