665881 tn?1248926997 ” Wraith, who is working on a vaccine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, investigated the MS-like disease in the various galanin transgenic mice developed in the Wynick lab. Professor Wraith said: “The results were really remarkable: rarely do you see such a dramatic effect as this. Mice with high levels of galanin just didn’t develop any signs of disease. We have a lot more to do to figure out how this works but the results are extremely promising.

What's nice about this blog is that not only do you get the research abstracts, but they also give some sort of context or commentary as to why you might be interested or how promising they think whatever it is will be. As a bonus, if you have a question about the research, they will often answer it in the comments.

Avatar n tn It has multiple symptoms and signs and is a diagnosis of exclusion. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are loss of balance, muscle spasms, numbness in any area, problems with walking and coordination, tremors in one or more arms and legs.
Avatar f tn I know that O-bands in CSF have to be compared to the number is blood taken at the same time; only the number that exceed those in the blood count toward whatever it is we're supposed to learn specific to MS from this test. The lesion noted seems to be shrinking fast. I know there's more on lesions in our health pages, but I don't recall hearing of them going away so quickly. Of course, I don't recall hearing of anyone's being measured three times in two months, either.
8398640 tn?1398042546 Sorry his is old news. No one else has had any success with replicating his findings. He only had like 19 in the study. Most neurologists dismiss it. I wish I had better news.
Avatar f tn Hey, take a look at our health pages - they're in the upper right hand corner of this page. What your MRI shows is a number of lesions in areas that are suggestive of MS. The 'ring-like' configuration of the lesion in the right external capsule is an indication that this is a old lesion that has gotten new enhancement. While you're being evaluated for MS, see if they'll do an MRI of your thoracic spine.
1517572 tn?1290796418 I had an MRI that showed one lesion in my brain, a hemangioma in the thoratic region and some mild degeneration in my cervical spine. I have been feeling ill since Feb 09 and as my condition continues I think I can recall feeling some of these symptoms as far back as 15 years old. I have has pnemonia 2 times and had HPV when I was a teen. I am 30 years old now and have 2 wonderful children and an amazing husband. My question is where do I go from here? What kind of doctors should I be seeing?
1435024 tn?1283573524 There are a number of articles and studies relating mercury in the mouth producing the enviromental factor which can result in MS. Wheither they label it MS are not the sympthoms are the same. When you get too much of these toxins in your body it effects your nervous system. I used a detoxification program provide by Dr. Tom McQuire. You can google him on line if you are interested. He tells you the vitamins and minerals necessary to detoxify your body. It worked for me.

Avatar m tn I had this also was told I sit too much at work n needed to stretch more it got worse over time until I would awake in the night in excruciating burning pain I would even have to check my skin to make sure I didn’t actually have any burns eventually it kept getting worse and to the point it just stopped completely and I probably should’ve listened to the stretching advice because now for the last 11 years I have no feeling in about 8“ x 4“ area on my thigh
Avatar f tn I have had alot of muscle pain, heaviness in legs, fatique and insomnia; all of these problems are getting worse in the past 5 years. I recently started with dizziness and ringing in my ears which led me to request a copy of this report. I have a MRI scheduled next week. My question is the juxtacortical lesion specific to MS? If so have I caused more damaged going without treatment in the past 10 years.
Avatar f tn I'm off the shots right now, because I have no money for the co-pay. So I can understand your concern - but I had relapses while on Copaxone, too. Your description of pain that circles around makes me think you might have a lesion in your back as well - I would definitely go to the neurologist first.
Avatar f tn SAID I HAD MS A LONG TIME. THEY LOOKED BACK AT ALL MY MEDICAL RECORDS. I WAS PARALIZED IN 1999 IN LEFT LEG, TOOK 18 MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO WALK A LITTLE. ABOUT A YEAR LATER I GOT PARALIZED IN RIGHT LEG IT TOOK A SHORTER TIME FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN. I HAD BELL PALSY IN 2000. IN MY FACE. THEY PUT ME ON CAPAXONE INJECTIONS. THE NEW DOCTOR TOOK ME OFF OF MEDICINE. I HAVE BEE SO NERVOUS ABOUT ALL THIS. I'M NOW AN OLDER PERSON. WHAT COULD I HAVE IF NOT MS? I FELT CAPAXONE HELPED ME.
Avatar f tn From what I know the MRI was only of the brain and I am not sure the strength of the MRI. Are muscle cramping and leg spasms especially in the calves a part of this. I also feel like I have the flu alot of times or that I am running a fever but don't. Like I said I have all the symptoms down to hearing loss and tinnitus. My gait and balance are horrible and I fear falling most of the time and have on several occastions. I see my family dr.
1925501 tn?1322888691 It was a teaching hospital, so the doctor’s offered to run some tests, to see if they could find the cause. They never found the cause of the high blood pressure, but the Doctor said he had MS and in order to diagnose my father he would need to run several more tests.
Avatar n tn d also like to know if a head CAT scan could also detect lesions in the white matter typical to multiple sclerosis, even if that CAT scan was initially made to rule out possible brain trauma due to a head blow. So basically, is it possible for a neurologist to suspect from multiple sclerosis by looking at a regular CAT scan, or only through MRI? Sorry to bother, I'd really appreciate a reply since the ghost of multiple sclerosis is driving me insane.
Avatar f tn I cannot advise you how to get into a clinical trial in USA, but I am in an oral drug trial in England and I have kept a detailed journal of my journey and all the appointments if you look me up! This will give you some idea of the commitment and time involved..allthough of course every trial is different and will have a different protocol.
