multiple sclerosis in the pacific northwest

4 plus years of seeing ENT doctors in the Pacific Northwest and no help --

I just started the 1000mg once a month routine. I've been on Avonex for 14 months, and my exam is stable, my MRI 6 months ago was stable, but my symptoms are not. I'm having too many days of worsening weakness on the right side. So my MS neuro pressed to begin augmenting the Avonex with the once a month Steroids. That's really common in this part of the country - Pacific Northwest. But, with only one month under my belt, I have nothing to report.

My family is in a study right now to try to figure out what's going on with us too. So far they can't find anything genetic and we can't get anyone to really pursue environmental. We live in Utah but are too young, and about 100 miles too far North, to officially be considered "downwinders" from the nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. However, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, etc.

but he will be here tomorrow. Autism is listed in the forum and he and his team members have done research on the role infections play in autism patients.... also treatment options.

Either way, he will be here... dedicating his time answering questions from MedHelp members.

Diagnosis is coronary ectasia. Do you know of anyone in the Pacific Northwest who specializes in this disease? What are the general treatments? Any help would be appreciated.

I have met a couple of surgeons so far in Seattle - at the Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute and the Northwest Eye Surgeons. I went to PCLI since i heard about one of the surgeons there from my optometrist and from an acquaintance at my wife's work place. Someone i know is having a corneal transplant and he reccomended Northwest Eye Surgeons to me so i went there as well. I have been thinking whether i should also go to UW , after reading your email i think i will go ahead and do that.

Hey everybody............hope you're all staying cool if you're in one of the really nasty "hot spots!" Check on your elderly neighbors and call 911 if they appear to be in any distress. And please don't forget the animals. If you find a dog or cat down, either breathing very shallow or very, very rapid, place them in a bath tub and fill with cold water or lay them in the shade and keep the hose on them. Take care of yourselves, too!

t eat gulf shrimp, stick to Alaskan salmon and fish or Pacific Northwest and Atlantic...although the gulf stream may pick up the oil and carry it to the Atlantic. Good for the Pac Northwest and Alaska fishermen, disaster for the Louisianna fish and shrimp industry...

It's a VERY good thing that you don't live in the Pacific Northwest if an overcast sky can increase your panic! There are times here when we don't see blue sky for WEEKS! A light box may very well be all you need to help when the grey skies move in. It would certainly be worth a try. Full spectrum lights in all your lamps might help as well. Aside from those two suggestions, I can't think of anything else, but hopefully other folks may have some ideas for you.

She then served two years with the Measles Elimination Activity in the National Immunization Program for the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service. She earned her MPH at Emory University.

” 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.

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.

It’s easy to see why those of you who live in the Pacific Northwest have difficulty relating to our whining about the weather back here in the East. The added bonus on top of your temperate climate is you live in magnificent country – every direction offers a different humbling and jaw-dropping perspective on our place in the natural world. But enough about all this…. you haven’t read this far just to hear me go on about my trip and appreciation of the PNW.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

my sister (24) was diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis in 2010, responded to steroid. now she suffered sudden & complete loss of vision in her left eye. she has been put on SOLUMEDROL. please suggest any available treatment modalities world over ? chances of return of vision ??

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.

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.
