Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 To my knowledge, I've never had mono. I knew people who had it growing up, and I remember them being very sick. I was never sick in my life except for 3 kidney stones; the 1st when I was 15, the 2nd when I was 21, and the 3rd when I was 28. I learned to drink more water. Haven't had one since, and I'm 42 now and PPMS. I do know that I was bitten by a tick back in time, but two Western Blot tests showed negative, which means nothing as there are so many false negatives, and my doc will not challenge the test results.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Mark was NEVER ill before his MS was diagnosed in 2000. Was a very healthy sporty 40 year old male until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I do, although it has been silent for many years now. I suspect a link to MS, but perhaps as an antagonist and not necessarily the cause.

Who has herpes? Twenty million of usin the U.S. have it, including me. And it sounds as if a lot of usMSers have had mono.Does anybody besides me think that possible bacterial/viral/fungalcause of MS is a base that needs to be covered? LDN is palliative--it's treating the symptoms but not the cause, butit's helping me function while I deal with the larger issue. I don'twant to and can't wait until minocycline has been conclusively tested,and I will not support pharmaceutical companies and their pricegouging when there are cheaper and healthier alternatives. I'll keepyou posted on how colloidal silver goes.Let's not forget that just because "they" haven't determined the causeor the cure doesn't mean that we can't do it ourselves. If somethingdoesn't work, try something else, and give it time. I'm going to giveCS at least six months, maybe a year. According to Delise, who's90% healed, symptom improvement can come in a matter of weeks. That'dbe nice. I'm PPMS and LDN hasn't helped much.Keep the faith,Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
