Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 My wife is RRMS since 1996. Genetically her teeth are soft and she has always had dental problems. Several rounds of IV steroids in the last 9 years have made her teeth deteriorate even faster. She has had multiple root canals and crowns in the last 3 years. Post-dentist is *always* a terrible time for her, and it isn't related to the influx of amalgam. It could be argued that the root canals agitate the existing amalgam, but her feeling is it's the anesthetic. The more of it she gets, the worse her MS flares afterwards. On the occasional visit requiring only a small filling or two, she asks for no anesthesia and has no MS problems. Also, every time she gets even one shot in the roof of her mouth, it leads to a raging sinus infection. wrote: >, > >Thanks a million for such afast reply!!! I'm no way getting amalgamn >fillings.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Edwinna, Sorry to learn of your difficulties but stick to your diet, supplements and LDN 4.5mg. I've been at this for 24 years, most of my trouble started after having 8 "Root Canals" done. Those procedures took about 3 years......since that time very few problems and all have gone away except for spasms in my buttocks and legs. Shortly after they were done I found that it was one of the worst things that one can do to one's self. I have followed your posts for a long time.........and they are the best and most effective things that are available for ms'er's to date. Stick with your program....the troubles will pass.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Klonopin is not an opiate. It is used for it's benzodiazepine properties as an anti-seizure medication. LDN may be taken with klonipin. Kerry (the nursing professor with MS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 For , Congrats for the new baby! Sorry to hear your MS symptoms are exacerbating. I was diagnosed with RRMS in 1999, and I have taken Lutein a vitamin to prevent Optic Neuritis. I had blurriness, never complete loss of sight before being diagnosed, but then discovered Lutein, now I take 6mg daily. For fatigue try Cayenne Pepper in pill form or if you have it as a spice, put a tablespoon of it in a cup with hot water and drink as much as you can you will have energy to spare. I advise not to drink Cayenne after 5pm or you may have problems falling asleep at bed time. You should also be taking Calcium supplements, to keep strong teeth and bones. I have never been one to drink milk, However, I love ice cream, so I am not Lactose intolerant. Try to stick with 4.5mg of LDN, I have not had any exacerbation since starting in Jan 03. I do not eat meat only seafood. I do have a serving of rice daily, as I believe through research it is one of the main factors that MS is almost non-existent in the Asian culture. Best of Luck, Dee P.S. There are other supplements I take as well, contact me if you would like to know, it is very late. Bye!!! Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi! First of all, I think it's great you are sharing your supplements with us . Thank you so much. I am concerned however that you are not taking magnesium. If you take calcium without magnesium, you are going to be one constipated puppy after a while and it also throws your electrolytes out of balance. Magnesium is so good for ms and the heart, restless leg, tolerance for loud noices, bright lights, I could go on and on. The orotate is the best form as it protects the oligodendrocytes of the myelin sheath. Also, Echinacea must be used with caution with an auto-immune disorder. You are taking some wonderful things and I'm not trying to be critical. I am just learning new things from the group and like to share what I have personally gathered through about 35 years of research!!! I started studying natural medicine when I was a baby. I'm not saying how old because people thing I'm in my mid-thirties. I will try to keep that persona as long as possible.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi Adelphia, I am sure you know about magnesium, but calcium has not been a problem of constipation for me, as I am quite regular. Even when I started LDN, I'd say I may have had 3 to 5 times over the last 2 plus yrs, a constipation problem. However, I will check out magnesium. Also, I know most on the board do not think echinacea is good for M.Sers. However, I have not had a cold since 2000, which is when I came down with the flu and was bedridden thru Christmas and New Years. I only take 1 echinacea pill a day. Since there seems to be 101 plus ways to contract M.S., everyone is different, and so one must do their own research/experiment on what dose or vitamins/medicines work for them.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi Dee, My husband takes one Echinacea 1 to 2 times a week. He alternates on the other days with acidophilus and/or garlic pills. I figure that he is getting an array of different immune help. So far he is doing great with colds too. I think you are right that a lot of our bodies are different and you would know if your body is not reacting well. There is some controversy with Echinacea and MS, but I don't recall what exactly it is. But when I started this whole learning process everything I had read stated not to take anything at all that would help or strengthen immune system because it was attaching the body. But of course we found that LDN is regulating the LDN inadvertently by briefly stopping our endorphins. So I wonder if the controversy is within that old argument or is something different altogether.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hi Dee, thanks for your reply and sharing your supplement list. I am doing alot better now. My eyeis almost back to normal. My supplement list is alot differetn than yours but I follow the Best Bet Diet and Ashtons supplemetn list as to me it seems like the best bet with the rsearch he's gathered. I must look into the lutein,,,,I've never seen it before but have heard of a few others who take it too. Do you take magnesium at all? It is very importatn to take it with calcium and also another thing I've learned is to always take vitamins in the morning and minerals at night. Calcium and magnesium together help muscles relax so they are best taken after your last meal of the day and they help aid sleep. I find zinc very important too for the immune system and it keep depression at bay. It also aids a good sleep.
