Well, you really need a doctor to help you. If you do not like the advice your current doctor is giving, then you should find another who may be able to help with your concerns. But if you have a doctor who thinks s/he knows what is wrong with you, they have prescribed medication to fix it, and you aren't taking it, then you need to address that. Because either the doctor is right and you need to find medication to help (either what has already been prescribed or an alternative), or the doctor is wrong and you need another. Just ignoring the doctor's advice and trying to self-diagnose is a good way to get yourself in trouble.\n\nAs for MS, it could be, but it is really hard to say. There is not really a definitive test for MS; it isn't like they can just give you a blood test and say, "Yup. MS." Unless things have changed since I last had to worry about it, a doctor that suspects MS can find indicators or warning signs, and if they are sufficiently concerned that it might be MS, they'll likely do an MRI to look for nerve damage. An MRI can pretty much confirm such a diagnosis, but can't really rule it out. Pain, numbness, tingling, tremors all could be signs of MS, or lots of other things.

I know how you feel.  I started on Copaxone, and had no issues, then I started to progress a little, then I switched to Betaseron.  Now I am taking Betaseron and Imuran.\n\nMy advice to you is if you aren't having an increase in symptoms, and your MRI's are fine stick with Copaxone.  Each person is different, and reacts to different medication differently.  But if you are intent on finding that one therapy that you are most comfortable with visit the following website, it is not for profit and definately for those of us with MS.

I am a dental assistant and my sister has MS.  This sounds like a MS problem not dental.

MS??  Multiple sclerosis??  Well, multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.  Autoimmune means that your body is basically attacking itself.  No... it's not transmitted through blood contact.

"Multiple Sclerosis" can be treated and cured if we pay attention to what the patient says what makes him  feel better what worse including everything Movement Food Drink Medication Season Time.\nHomeopathy treats and cures where the other medicine don't even work just because it Treats the Patient and how he or she feels and what are his eating habits plus more .\nSo anyone asking for a MS prescription for Homeopathic Treatment has to explain their own symptoms in their own words.What and how the patient feels only by paying attention to those symptoms and finding the right similar for what they feel can bring about CURE not just temporary treatment and relief .\nTake Care and God Bless you !

As a person with MS some of my problems are balance, eye disturbances, nerve problems,memory and concentration problems,fatigue big time. Heat usually makes things worse and brings on symptoms..so no more jacuzzi hottubs for me. Making sure I have cold water and some other cooling device during the summer. These are just some of the problems that a person with MS faces.

common signs/symptoms are episodes of DIFFERENT neurologic deficit spaced out over time (ie left body numbness followed by right facial paralysis followed by loss of vision in the left eye).  These usually resolve (at least partially) in the initial stages of the disease.  The surest diagnostic test is brain and spinal cord MRI which shows lesions in various areas corresponding to the prior episodes in various stages of recovery.  CSF will show increased protein (spinal tap), but this is not specific to MS.

I don't know where the first answer is coming from.  Anyway there is alot of pain with MS not just physical, but emotional too.  My father has ms, and there are going to be good days and bad days. He is on a perscription that he takes to try to lesson the results with MS.  So far they do not have a cure for MS, and if you or a family member has it, they can check with their doctor to see what is out there for it.  The medications are very expincive so i hope you do have an insurance plan. The emotional problems, can involve family members as well as the one who has it.  I find it painful to know the troubles my dad is dealing with, and I find prayer is the best way to over come that. There are alot of MS support groups, and programs out there for familys dealing with  ms.  Good luck to you, and your family.\n\nJust thinking about it, temperature and climate can effect MS as well, too warm, or too cold climates can effect how the person is feeling.  I know when my dad went swimming, he felt alot better that day, or the rest of the day.  Hope that helps as well.

I do not have MS, but my first husband did and my sister-in-law has it.  There are a lot of support groups for MS and if you contact them, I'm sure you could get on line with other people.  Also, going to the group meetings are very helpful.  My brother ran a group years ago and people helped each other with ideas, medical info, and personal support, etc.  Your doctor or hospital can put you in touch with a contact person.  I wish you strength and I'll say a prayer for  you.  Keep a positive attitude and stay busy.

Yes, it can.  :(\n\nMost people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40; the initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye.  Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance.  These symptoms may be severe enough to impair walking or even standing. In the worst cases, MS can produce partial or complete paralysis.  Most people with MS also exhibit paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feelings such as numbness, prickling, or "pins and needles" sensations.  Some may also experience pain.  Speech impediments, tremors, and dizziness are other frequent complaints. Occasionally, people with MS have hearing loss. Approximately half of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment, but such symptoms are usually mild and are frequently overlooked.  Depression is another common feature of MS.
