147426 tn?1317265632 Gee...poor Zilla must be pretty worried about all this happening all of a sudden but I certainly hope that she is in the right place to get some help! I like everyone else I would imagine will be holding our breath waiting to hear how she is doing and I for one will have my fingers crossed that they will figure out what the heck is happening and that they will be able to help the poor girl.
Avatar f tn Austrian researchers studying patients with possible ms symptons found that those with two kinds of antibodies in their blood early on were 76 times more likely to develop the tough to diagnose disorder than those with neither antibody. I not very computer orientated but if you google blood test can predict ms it should come up. It was a very interesting read.
Avatar f tn Yes, sweetie. We are certainly due for a post from you. How are things going? Been thinking about you.
Avatar f tn Zilla is immersed in her new job but will come up for air soon and report in. She's in the training phase, which is always pretty much overwhelming. So far so good, though. And she REALLY likes it, and likes her co-workers. Isn't that a refreshing change? Good luck, Zil!
220917 tn?1309784481 Hey there Zilla. You indeed have been wonderful about greeting newbies when others are ot up to it (and always). Where do you get the time? I'm awfully sorry things remain wretched with you personally. One suggestion, though: Can you just ASK for the VEP test? Your doctor, I mean? It's done by the same person in the same room with similar techniques, so it's far from a stretch. If you doc wants to know why, just say a friend with MS is urging you to ask.
220917 tn?1309784481 Hey Girl, I knew you would do AWESOME at the interview!!! They should consider themselves lucky to have such a wonderful person wanting to work for them. :) I don't think you have anything to worry about, Zilla. I'm sure they are thinking now when can we get her to start?
432312 tn?1265644974 Zilla is right. You cannot change your name, without deleting your present "account" and starting over from scratch with a new member ID name. Please remember you will lose all of your "notes," journal entry's," etc., if you do this. I believe that MedHelp MIGHT consider letting you change your presnt member ID name, but I think this is poo-pooed by management, or everyone that uses the Forum's would be asking.
Avatar m tn Hi forum family. I heard from Zilla today and she is very very disappointed. Her neuro told her that all of her tests were normal except for the BAER. He said the BAER showed a CNS problem but he blamed it on the hearing loss as the cause of the abnormality. She told him about her leg weakness and shaky legs, and having trouble standing. She told him how her legs feel like they are going to buckle in under her.
Avatar n tn Zilla is corrcect. The presence of Myelin Basic Protein in the CSF is a sign of any kind of damage in the central nerous system. It is very nonspecific. The damage can be from MS, other neuro diseases, infection, surgery or trauma. In the context of MS, as Zilla said, MBP is often - but not always - seen during a relapse and may dwindle away or become negative during remission. The problem is that many people in relapse do NOT have a + MBP, so it is not a good biomarker to show a relapse.
147426 tn?1317265632 IVIG stands for Intranvenous ImmunoGlobulin. It is a concentrated solution of human antibodies and is derived from human blood. It's use goes back decades and is used frequently in several immune-mediated diseases. In pediatrics we used it to treat ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura - which is a severe reduction of the platelets after a viral infection) and Kawasaki's Disease, just to name a few. In MS it is used in much the same way as IV steroids.
220917 tn?1309784481 Hi Zilla! You have really advocated for yourself and made sure you were treated. Good for you! I hope that the solumedrol continues to help you feel better and stronger. I see that you are from Detroit. I live in Ann Arbor and have found really good MS SPecialists at UofM.
164435 tn?1377102256 I, TOO, AM SO HAPPY YOU GOT THE SCRIPT FROM YOUR DOCTOR. I THINK IT WILL BE A GREAT HELP TO YOU. I HAD SOME PT WITH MY SEVERE NECK PROBLEMS, BEFORE I HAD SURGERY TO CORRECT IT. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. I JUST HOPE IT GOES WELL FOR YOU, TOO. I'M SURE IT WILL. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET SOMEONE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN MS. LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES. HANG IN THERE!
Avatar n tn My MRI is now officially scheduled for the 19th at noon. It's for the brain only and it's listed on the order that he's looking for vasculitis. When I told the lady doing the scheduling that he said he was looking for MS, she said that yes, that's exactly what he's doing. She said that between the blood tests and this MRI of my brain, it'll tell him what he needs to know.
222135 tn?1236488221 Good point - unless the guy was a plant to throw me off the scent...Hmmmmmmm!
