Thx for the link you posted on Twitter....Catalyca,<br /><br />Thx for the link you posted on Twitter. I'm away of the majority of the theories discussed on that one page. Hopefully as more research is conducted, we may come closer to solving the causes of MS and its symptoms.<br /><br />BTW, the story above is not my own. The Carnival shares a variety of stories of throughout the MS blogging community.Lisa Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862232056342347990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-47592517286818632782012-03-31T19:31:25.276-04:002012-03-31T19:31:25.276-04:00Judy, thank you!

Not knowing what will happen in the future is frightening. Some attacks took a long time to improve for me even with steroids. Hang in there!<br /><br />BTW, I meant to comment on one of your posts written the night before you visited a new neuro. I literally laughed outloud...and laughed again as I read it outloud to someone who was wondering why I laughed so suddenly. Thank you for that!Lisa Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862232056342347990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-23678262856503660612012-03-31T19:17:25.027-04:002012-03-31T19:17:25.027-04:00Lisa, I am glad I found your post as your story is...Lisa, I am glad I found your post as your story is a very important story to tell while at the same time I am sad to read about your suffering. Since you are interested in the research side of MS to find the root cause, I was wondering if you had seen the following page that a team of researchers have posted. It is different than a lot of the research blaming the immune system alone for attacking myelin but instead notes that the cause may be from bad chemistries occurring in the gut that affect the entire vascular, microbial, immune, and neurological systems. Take a look here http://nubiome.com/blog/cutting-edge-multiple-sclerosis-research/ .<br /><br />A problem with medical research so far is that each branch of medicine (neurology, immunology, cardiology, etc.) seems to be fairly compartmentalized into silos with little cross-communication. From these MS discoveries, it clearly shows that scientists need to look outside the central nervous system to find the root causes and therapies of the "incurable" neurological diseases. The lack of this activity is probably why these conditions have not yet been cured. However, these new announcements will surely accelerate new research and mainstream treatments for MS and I hope can have an impact on your situation.catalycahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551019581114096356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-86703187482332548892012-03-30T07:53:23.034-04:002012-03-30T07:53:23.034-04:00My heart cried as i read this, o cannot stand, s...My heart cried as i read this, o cannot stand, sit or walk for long periods of time, im still in the diagnosis process, i keep telling my husband i am going back to work when i get better, but deep down im not sure how im going to get better or if this is my baseline ...thank u for this story, thank you for your insight!
