Re: 2 questions/C pneumoniae

[Guest guest]

,

The C pneumoniae is a bacteria, not a virus. It is treated with regular ole' antibiotics.This was the focus of a study at Vanderbilt University MS center, in Nashville, TN. A man was found to have this bacteria in his spinal fluid and when he was treated with long term antibiotics, he improved. I'm on a mission to find out more about this. I've already contacted Vanderbilt once about this. I'm trying now to find out if this man is still doing well. This study was done in 1994.

I had severe pnuemonia when I was about 8 or 9. I'm sure I was treated with antibiotics until the symptoms went away. my thinking is that it was just driven deeper into my system only to re-emerge 30-40 years later as MS.You need to first have a spinal tap performed and have your spinal fluid tested for this particular bacteria. The man in the study took antibiotics for 18 months, I believe.

, I will look for the article and send it to you if/when I find it.

Have you ever had pneumonia?

Subject: [low dose naltrexone] 2 questions

Hi everyone,

I have two questions: 1) Has anyone heard of chlamydia pneumoniae

and this virus being the cause of MS? I wonder how LDN surpresses

this virus?

2) I've gone to the website and edited my membership WEEKS ago.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how this can happen before I

leave to go out of town on Friday? I don't want to come home after

being gone for several days with hundreds of e-mails in my in-box! I

know others have had the same problems. Any suggestions would

really be appreciated!

Thanks, hope everyobe has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

This is the same thinking that has me trying minocyline now. I had mycoplasma in my teens and was treated. I don't know what I was given, but I do know that it was brief, probably a normal course of antibiotics. I would not be at all surprised to find that many of us have fairly quiet long term infections of some type.

As an aside to that, how many of you have lower than normal body temps?

I have always had a low body temperatire (96.5) and very low blood pressure

(60/40). Doctors seem surprised, but, since it is not in their medical

literature, they do nothing. So typical!

Your body temp matches mine. I tend to be 96.5 to 97. Doctors don't seem interested though.

There are a few labs around who can test for chlamydia pneumonia with a

blood test - much easier (see

Does this tell me if the chlamydia pneumonia is in my spinal fluid though?This is where it was found in the man in the Vanderbilt story.

Hmmm, good point ...... I don't know how pervasive it is or how

much having it in your blood correlates to having it in your spinal

fluid. Was just trying to save you the potential hassles of a spinal

tap.

I believe that a low temp can be a symptom of thyroid problems. Perhaps you should see a Dr that specializes in hormone problems?

Just a thought.

There is a possible link between MS and low thyroid, hence my question regarding low body temps among us. My thyroid level has always been in the "acceptable" range, but the presence of the hormone doesn't mean your body is able to take it up and use it properly.
